dselect disorientation
I lost the orientation with dselect.-( Can anyone tell how to get it
back?-) I think I made somathing wrong but I don't know what.
I don't understand why there are so many packages to be removed and
downgraded.
Is there a good way to get a "clean" status back.
This is my apt/sources.lst file:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib
non-free
The update (in dselect) seems okay. But when I try to install, I get this:
