I'm new to debian also, I've never used the dselect, but I was able to
install ssh by doing the following:
go to: http://packages.debian.org/stable/non-us/ssh.html and download the
ssh_1.2.3-9.3.deb package (click on Go To Download Page). You may also need
other packages that are depends.
After you have the file in your directory, just do:
# dpkg -i ssh_1.2.3-9.3.deb
If it gives you an error about depending on some package, ie libc6, just
install that package by downloading it, do a:
# dpkg -i package
and then try re-installing the ssh package again.
Unfortunately, this installs ssh1.. but it's better then nothing.
Good luck.

I tried inserting the lines into /etc/apt/sources.list and then did
sulu:/etc/apt# dselect update

which seems OK, but when I did

I got

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
ssh: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.2-2) but 2.1.3-10 is to be installed
Depends: libssl0.9.6 but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
Now what? I am very confused and a little concerned. Is this ever going to
work or am I in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike? :-) It reads
like I have to resolve the dependencies ad infinitum. Isn't that the
purpose of apt-get?.

I just installed Debian potato (2.2r0, I think; got the CDs from

But I can't find the package to install it. I gather from the web site
that it is non-USA, but how does one find and install it using apt-get?
Put these lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://non-us.debian.org/ unstable non-US/main non-US/contrib
non-US/non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/ unstable non-US/main non-US/contrib
non-US/non-free
(The second line is for sources as well as binaries.)
Then 'dselect update' and 'apt-get install ssh'.
