Bug#171901: dselect: If some packages fail to install, others are silently skipped.
Package: dselect
Version: 1.10.9
Severity: important
When installing packages with dselect, if some packages don't install,
only some of the others will be installed. The rest will be skipped, but if
you do "install" again, some of them may succeed.
Here is the output from two iterations:
==============================
27 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
3 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/20.8MB of archives. After unpacking 386kB will be freed.

============================
Notice that packages such as aumix didn't get installed until the second
try. I didn't change anything in between, just picked "install" again.
Furthermore, after this there are still 2 packages that aren't even tried.
They are libggi-target-fbdev and libggi2. (This may explain why those
packages that fail, fail: maybe the new version of libggi2 needs to be
installed first.)
