Re: dselect: failed to getch in main menu: Success

[John Stevenson <John.Stevenson@valtech.co.uk>]

There is a problem with dpkg_1.6.10 which gives this error.  Please
downgrade the dpkg file to dpkg_1.6.9.

I assume that you have just done an upgrade to the new package and this
broke dselect.  dpkg itself still works, so you just need the file and
use:

dpkg -i packagename.deb

Then when dselect is working go to the selection menu and put dpkg on
hold for now.
