Re: dselect not updating.
oops. I was just pointing to the /debian directory. While
poining at hamm all the packages that were missing reappeared. However,
specifying the directories "main, non-free, contrib" won't find .deb
files even though it updated. hrmph. I'll look around tonight and see if
I can find the right directories.
