I have a desire to get dselect to reinstall every package that I have
installed, from my known-clean CD-rom.

(I've had a security issue arise, and don't know the extent of the
possible changes.)

I don't want to have to remove every package, or to upgrade to a new
version of Debian; I'm very happy with the packages I have installed.

Is there a way to get dselect to overwrite files with the same version,
instead of skipping them?

Thanks.
