When I upgraded to slink a couple of weeks ago, I had a similar problem in
dselect. (It seemed to be caused by a lack of free disk space.) I wound
up deleting the request for both of the packages and everything that
relied upon them and then starting over. I suppose another approach would
have been to retrieve the packages manually and force an install.
