Re: dselect unstable problem SOLVED
Editing the file to correct the spelling of optional for aleph-dev and aleph-doc
and then touching the file to match the others does not work if you want to
use dselect (for me at least). I was able to successfully upgrade my system
after editing and touching the file to correct the errors and then running apt-get
upgrade. dselect still barfs on me though, even after a successful upgrade with
apt-get.
