hi colin,the problem is that dselect is no longer found -- that is, I try to run it and the ocmmand line can't find the command (this istrue for root, oto, of course, I'm not quite so dense as to not try that). Here's the output of dpkg -l dpkg, which I must say sound ominous:
matt@anarres:~$ dpkg -l dpkg Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii dpkg 1.9.21 Package maintenance system for Debian anyway, any further help appreciated... matt Colin Watson wrote:

I've tried updating dpkg, also dpkg-reconfigure dpkg, but in neither case has anything changed (apt-get just tells me I already have the latest version). Any guess what's going wrong (or what extra info I need to provide to make sense of it)?What version of the dpkg package are you running ('dpkg -l dpkg'), and what exactly is going wrong? Cheers,
