Cant get kernel-package!

[Kendrick Myatt <myattk@datatek.com>]

when I use dselect to try and get kernel-package, i get into an infinite
loop with dependencies on packages perl and libc5.  I + them and they get *,
but when I enter, I go back to dependencies and there they are again, still
showing *!

I X'd back and tried again from start, chose ftp, looked at packages,
kernel-package was STILL selected, and I STILL got into the same boat when i
tried to continue.  Trying to purge those two packages was the bright idea I
had, but I soon realized I would have to remove most of my system once the
dependencies were ruled out :(

I'm trying again to see if I can get kernel-package and it's 3 dependencies
(the source and that other thing...) then I Q'd on the perl...

*sigh* Now it's downloading all kinds of packages I didn't ask for, cron3.0,
perl5.003, dpkg1.4, etc...

What did I screw up, and is there some way to globally reset dselect, as I
believe I have done something to really confuse it :(

Thanks for any help.. I'll keep working on this end :)

Regards,

Kendrick
