Dselect problems



Hi!

Dselect seems to think that there is a conflict in my package selection,
something that neither apt-get or console-apt thinks. Upon trying to exit
the package selection, this package conflict display appears, and I can't
get away from it, because changing anything brings it back:

EIOM Pri Section  Package      Description

Some of the errors:

"libnet-perl recommends libnet-telnet-perl

"perl-5.005-base conflicts with perl
