The problem is that dselect only removes packages - it does not purge them. This means that one cannot use dselect and remove and then successfully install dosemu. This is analogous to the problems I had reintsalling the teTeX packages recently. In both cases, one cannot remove and then immediately reinstall some packages because of simple problems. You can hit _ instead of - to purge packages in dselect.

Maybe this should be in the release testing program? (Sorry, but I cannot volunteer to do this at the moment...)

It manages to install perfectly, but 'dos' gives the error 'can't open /etc/dosemu/conf' or something similar. When I look in /etc/dosemu, I find conf link to a file that is not present - 'dist'. Also, no /etc/dosemu.conf file is provided. This leaves dosemu unusable (at least as far as I know and as far as I have RTFM). Has this been seen before?
