It would actually be better to continue this discussion on the list. If there is really a bug somewhere, eveybody should know about it. And even if you fell into some avoidable trap, you are probably not the only one. Finally, you can't expect that someone will come up with a perfect advice at once, so some feedback migth be useful.I replied to the person who said that, not to the list (same answer to follow).

I used dselect the first few times, and it got the following error. I figured I would just make it easier for people to see what dselect was trying to use if i copied and pasted the exact command."Exact command", which one? Did you use dselect or dpkg --configure? The cause of the error can be different. By second-guessing dselect's actions, you made it actually more difficult for people to see what is going on.
If you use dpkg --configure without having used dpkg --unpack before, the error is inevitable, because the script /sw/sbin/update-passwd will not exist.
If the error happens inside dselect, then it must have another cause. Either the unpacking went wrong (check whether the above file is there or not), or you don't have /sw/sbin in your PATH variable. In both cases, further advice is possible.
