Bug#152269: dselect is not optional, but aptitude thinks it is

["Stephen J. Turnbull" <stephen@xemacs.org>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10

Trying to upgrade dpkg (to 1.10.2) resulted in a broken dependency
because I had removed the dselect package.  I suppose this is
something in the dpkg dependencies, thus the report against dpkg.

In aptitude simply reselecting dselect resulted in a smooth upgrade.

have much nostalgia for Perl, so its faults I remember.  Scott Gilbert c.l.py
