I do know this. And of couse I always did an "apt-get update" AND "dselect
update" before I tried "apt-get upgrade" oder "dselect select ...
install".

Although dselect uses apt, it seems to have it's own information cache,
which is not updated by performing apt-get update.

But anyway, I still have no clue how to clean up the mess that I caused in
both systems.
