After hangling through lots of conflict resolution screens (and
giving up gnupg because it dependet on a non-available package
(that's testing, this shouldn't happen!)) I finally gave up on
dselect and used apt-get install postfix perl perl-modules to
solve my installation problems (no mta, not installable because
of some perl problems, perl problems because dselect did want to
keep perl-5.004, or at least perl-5.005.).
I'm definitely not a dselect guru, but I think I'm using debian
(and dselect) for long enough to manage an upgrade.
Generally it seems that there are quite some predpendencies,
dependencies and conflicts/replaces missing in woody currently,
this will hopefully improve in the next few weeks.
