i've always wondered... 1. equivalency of updating the system is dselect's "update" EXACTLY equivalent to apt-get update? does one of them update the other? if they're not equivalent, how are they different? 2. intelligence of dependencies and conflicts are dselect and apt-get equally intelligent when it comes to things like package dependencies and conflicts? 3. status of the system and updates are dselect and apt-get's knowledge of installed packages, package status, available packages and provided files the same as each other? i would think that the answers should be yes, yes, and yes. but i've read things that hint otherwise. thanks! pete
