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.

Thanks,
