RE: why so much hate?



Hmm, While I agree that dselect could use some functionality to
help users who screw up dependancy's It's far from antiquated.
In fact, as a former RedHat (RPM) user, I can say that the
debian package management system (and it's frony end, dselect)
is very advanced.  Keep in mind, dselect is the -standard-
debian package management front end.  as such, it must be able
to run on ANY debian system, including 386 -class machines with
black-and-white terminals and no X Windows.  You may be interested
in looking into the GTK front-end instead.  I haven't used it
myself, so I can't really say if it's any more "user-friendly".
