dselect sucks greasy cheese balls
Dselect is now trying to make design decisions on my computer against my
wishes. I thought only GatesWare did that. But I digress.
I have installed WordPerfect Office 2000 on my laptop. dselect reports these as
brokenly installed packages but the apps work fine. The next time I use
dselect, it then wants to uninstall all of these so-called broken packages when
I try to install something else. I suspect the "brokenness" is due to the fact
that I am using Woody, and that WPO 2000 was designed back when Potato was the
current Debian system. But the application is working fine, and dselect is
uninstalling it!!!
How do I stop it from doing this? There must be some way to over-ride these
actions.
