dselect and mc
The Debian web-site tutorial mentioned using Midnight Commander (mc),
so I thought I would try it out. I do not have it on my system
(version 2.1), so I ran dselect to install it.
I found it in the list and it had a couple of dependancies (gpm and
libgpmg1). I accepted those to be installed also. The first time I
tried to install, I had forgotten to mount my CD. I mounted my CD and
re-ran dselect and removed the 3 packages. I then selected mc and the
dependancies for install again. None of the 3 packages installed. I
get the following errors. (This is my first attempt at dselect, so
please give me as much detail as you can).
I did my original Basic install from this CD, so I know it is working.
If it makes a difference, this is the CD that came with the O'Reilly
book.
