Package: dselect
Version: 1.15.6
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
dselect no longer shows the "recurisve package listings" screens that
allows uset to manually resolve dependencies or conflicts. Instead it
automatically (de)selects all dependant packages.
To reproduce:
1. run dselect select
2. find libc6 and press - to mark it for removal. This will autmatically
mark all other packages for removal without asking user about any
confirmation!
The bug was introdced by commit f426b031ac858fa30ace69959a43b61fb40f4be9:
