AFAIK dselect installs packages of priority 'standard' or higher by default, you'll need to explicitly deselect them. True, some of the packages you mentioned are only 'optional' (like w3m) in Woody, but they are at least 'standard' on Sarge which you apparently want to upgrade to.

dselect installing packages I didn't request
Why does dselect want to install packages that I haven't requested? I'm not talking about dependencies. Here's how to replicate what I'm seeing. I installed debian woody. During the install I said NO to tasksel and NO to dselect. I got a very minimal system (good). If I run dselect, select no packages and then tell it to install, it wants to install 79 new packages, which are: bc bin86 bind9-host binutils bison cpp cpp-3.3 dc dictionaries-common dnsutils doc-debian doc-linux-text dpkg-dev file finger flex ftp g++ g++-3.3 gcc gcc-3.0-base gcc-3.3 gdb gnu-efi gnupg iamerican ibritish ipmasqadm ispell less libc6-dev libdb4.0 libdb4.1 libdns11 libgc1 libgpmg1 libidn11 libisc7 liblwres1 libmagic1 libnss-db libopencdk4 libstdc++3 libstdc++5-3.3-dev linux-kernel-headers locales lpr lsof m4 make manpages-dev mime-support mpack mtools mtr-tiny mutt ncurses-term nfs-common patch perl perl-modules pidentd portmap procmail python python-newt python2.3 rcs reportbug sharutils strace tcsh texinfo time traceroute vacation w3m wamerican whois Why is dselect wanting to install packages that I didn't request? -- Matt Perry | matt at primefactor dot com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
