dselect problems
I've got dselect using the 'apt' method, if it's relavent.
A few days ago dselect had trouble when I was updating the package
list, I -think- the download managed to die is such a fasion that
they were truncated to zero. Since then it thinks all the packages
that aren't installed are "new", even after further updates.
Also, there are a few files that show up in the package list under
the "Up to date" section like this:
*** Req base base-files 2.0.3 2.0.3 Debian Base System Miscel
Why does it want to update the file (the *'s, I assume mean that) when
I have the latest one installed?
Last bit: Do the version numbers tell us when packages really need to
be updated. For example there's plenty in the dselect list like
this:
*== Req base kbd 0.96a-6 0.96a-7 Linux console font and k
where just the -7 has changed. IS it really worth updating that?
