Re: Recently upgraded from 'woody' to 'sarge', problems
Try running dselect after you update. I often find that dselect and
apt-get produce results which are out of sync initially.
I now update dslect as well and then see what the select option
produces. Maybe someone else on this list can explain why the two
utilities get out of sync.
