dselect wants to remove stuff that I don't want it to remove!

["Greg Grotsky" <spikeygg@gmail.com>]

Help.  I ran deselect and used SELECT to set ssh to "install" and
when I selected INSTALL it told me that it wanted to REMOVE several
packages that I need and did not want to uninstall.  When I
canceled the INSTALL and went back to SELECT to look at the packages it
said it was going to remove they were labeled as ***, three stars like:
"Don't remove"  What's going on here?  Anyone know?

Thanks,
-Greg
