dselect dconfusion
I) I've just updated my packages list (apt-get update.) Now I've run
into a few dependancy problems - I've also noted that many utilities and
pkgs have been deselected (not my doing, I think,) many of them
required, such as adduser, login, and many more. So I went about
holding, selecting, deselecting, and now I don't know where I stand. I
Still have many conficts/dependancy problems. Is there anyway to start
dselect from scratch? What I mean to ask is can I reset the selections
to what they were before I started to tinker with them?
II) Is mailx a standard mail utility? I thought maybe pine would be
included in the packages list, though I don't see it. Can someone
recommend a decent mail utility for me. Currently I'm rebooting to win
in order to mail you these newbie questions.
III) Thanks to those who have so quickly and courteously responded to
my questions. I see now why Debian's popularity is growing so
rapidly: fast, free, and accurate technical support : )
Thanks again,
