Fred, use aptitude instead of dselect.

/*
aptitude  is a  curses-based  apt  frontend with  a  number of  useful
extended features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages
in a  flexible manner, dselect-like  persistence of user  actions, the
ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most packages,
and extreme flexibility and customization.

Use "dpkg -l" for the list of installed packages. Also try

apt-cache search package-name   |  check for the availability
apt-cache show  package-name    |  and description of any package
