Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: important
An apt-get dselect-upgrade, when it encounters an error on a package, such
as a package for which dpkg refuses unpack because it overlaps another
package, then at some point later (maybe at the end of the bunch of unpacks
that contained the error) apt-get exits, leaving many packages unconfigured.
Manually running "dpkg --configure -a" allows all of them to be configured,
and rerunning apt-get (with -f because of the error) allowed the bunch of
remaining packages to install at last.

This is how it is ment to work, the dselect method has some additional
stuffage to make this easier on newbies. See bug #24717
