dselect error: slang0.99.38 conflicts with slang0.99.34

[Mark Phillips <mark@ist.flinders.edu.au>]

I am still having problems upgrading to hamm.  I have run autoup.sh
successfully (I think).  Now trying to install, running dselect I get:

Looking for part 1 of slang0.99.38 ...
/usr/local/store0/debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/base/slang0.99.38_0.99.38-5.deb
Running dpkg -iB for slang0.99.38 ...
dpkg: regarding .../slang0.99.38_0.99.38-5.deb containing slang0.99.38:
 slang0.99.38 conflicts with slang0.99.34 (<< 0.99.38-2.3)
  slang0.99.34 (version 0.99.38-2) is installed.
dpkg: error processing
/usr/local/store0/debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/base/slang0.99.38_0.99.38-5.deb
(--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing slang0.99.38
Errors were encountered while processing:

/usr/local/store0/debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/base/slang0.99.38_0.99.38-5.deb

installation script returned error exit status 1.
Press RETURN to continue.


What's wrong?  dselect doesn't detect any conflict here when I exit
select.

And why doesn't dselect simply deinstall slang0.99.34 if this is a
problem?

Cheers,

Mark.
