dselect errors
Hello,
I am using woody. After doing an update, install I get the following
listed below.
My general question is how do I fix/interpret those errors without
breaking my system? Or are these bugs that need to be reported? Also
I understand that I am using unstable so problems are expected. I am
just wondering what is the procedure to deal with them?
