I agree, but sometimes it's nice to have that full-screen
interface. That's why i *love* console-apt. It's so nice i use it
for pretty much everything. I haven't used dselect in months.

My only complaint with console-apt is that for some reason it
won't upgrade all packages. For example, if i update the package
listings and then tell console-apt to upgrade all packages, it
will do that, but as soon as it's done i can run 'apt-get
upgrade' and it will upgrade a few more packages. I don't
understand why that happens, but it does.
