This rings a bell. :-(
I had much so trouble with 'dselect' when removing packages that i
stopped using it for such tasks and now exclusively use 'dpkg' at the
shell prompt for removal actions. I think the level of interactivity
present with the install dialog has been missing far too long for the
uninstall routine to prevent the worst in case of 'dselect' going
berserk without apparent reason.
Thank you, P. *8^)
