Have not installed any new dpkg package, I was trying to use dselect on a
disk partition.  Do not know what I did wrong but base-files got
corrupted.  Re installed base file, but now things are a mess.

Got a lot of dependency problems.  I like to have a full development
system, but also like TeX.  TeX clashes with makeinfo and texinfo, plus
program tsort.

Thanks for your advice
