careful with that axe, eugene. update was probably very successful. :)

to be perfectly honest with you, i can't figure dselect out. it likes to do
screwy things, like uninstall the entire system and reinstall the system when
it thinks there's a problem. i think dselect tries to be a little too clever
for its own good.
for that reason, i'm using apt-get and dpkg exclusively now, and i've never
been happier.

ahhh... ok, you're looking for a "dev package". dev packages contain files
that are necessary to compile your own programs using the library's
functionality. in your case, you're looking for:
libsdl-mixer1.1-dev
not
libsdl-mixer1.1
now if you have libsdl-mixer1.1-dev installed and the .h file still can't be
found, then we're in trouble. :)
