Instead, you might want to do apt-get update, and then apt-get
upgrade. This will upgrade you to 1.6.11, which works.

There is a problem with dpkg_1.6.10 which gives this error.  Please
downgrade the dpkg file to dpkg_1.6.9.

I assume that you have just done an upgrade to the new package and this
broke dselect.  dpkg itself still works, so you just need the file and
use:

dpkg -i packagename.deb

Then when dselect is working go to the selection menu and put dpkg on
hold for now.

dselect fails w/ dselect: failed to getch in main menu: Success

[Clint Guillot]

I haven't looked into this as vigilantly as I should have, but today, I
allowed dselect to update things from the current frozen dist in
conjunction with installing a new package.  After the install finished,
running dselect works to the menu, but fails on selecting any option
with the message:

dselect: failed to getch in main menu: Success

Anyone seen this?
I'll look into it further tomorrow, but don't want to reinvent the wheel
if not needed.

Thanx,
Clint
