Package: dselect Version: 1.19.7 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
When I go into Select, and choose postfix to be installed, dselect accepts this option: *=* Opt mail postfix amd64 i386 3.4.8-0+10d 3.4.8-0+10d High-performance mail transport But then when I go to Install as the next step, dselect attempts to remove postfix The following packages will be REMOVED: postfix The only way to stop it doing this is to lock it to a specific version (thus the = in the original status) I would expect dselect to either report an issue when selecting the package or to not try and remove the package when moving to the next stage. I'm concerned this is leaving me unable to update as security patches are ready. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dselect depends on: ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libncursesw6 6.1+20181013-2+deb10u2 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20181013-2+deb10u2 dselect recommends no packages.
