You said to purge all un-installed apps. I mis-read that. Mind you, it
wasn't well written anyway. :) What you mean is, you remove'd a package

One suggestion I could make to you is an apt-get --reinstall install

It should just install those packages once you set the selections.
yeah... i had considered doing that, but it seemed a one-liner

Ich habe ein Problem mit dem Verhalten von apt-get dselect-upgrade:

mozilla. Dieses wird beim

I just did apt-get update before doing the upgrade -- how could they

'apt-get update' only updates apt's available file, not dpkg's. 'dselect
update' updates both.
However, if you're using apt, then this shouldn't matter. It may just be
that
are upgrading in advance. Then, when
you run install in dselect, it will do the apt-get dselect-upgrade
for you. So if you stay in dselect the whole time, it is even less
typing than with apt-get.

I did a dselect update from within dselect but got the same missing
packages as before when I did apt-get dselect-upgrade. I have not had
any problems doing it this way before, but in the last two days its
not working.
Looking on the debian site, I cannot find an up to date binary for

Joost If you do a dselect-upgrade with apt-get, it will use the
Joost dpkg available packages database.

Hi,
on one of my debian (potato) machines I have:

apt-get upgrade works ok. How to cure/diagnose it.
My versions:
ii apt 0.3.12 Advanced front-end
I got this on my Slink machine running 2.3.17, no idea what caused it.
2.3.16 and 2.3.18 had no problem with the same .config used to compile.

I was having this problem as well on a potato machine. I never found
out what the problem was, but it somehow fixed itself. I don't think
it had anything directly to do with apt-get or dpkg, but perhaps a
bug in libc? Do an apt-get dist-updgrade and then play around with it
again. One
