   What version of the dpkg package are you using ?  What version of the
   base disks did you use ?  Versions 0.93.68 and onwards contain dselect
   methods.
   
The base disks werre from the pre-release area, the dpkg was 0.93.71,
I got it from the Incoming directory.  The install was a clean install
on a newly formated partition.
