Or, dive into the docs and see how to make a [empty] package (you really only need 4 or 5 files and a few directories...) > An option to reset the selection status of all packages to their actual > status As you know, dselect displays three status fields to the left of the package name. 'R' (that's an uppercase R) will reset the selection status to that of the middle indicator. By pressing 'ooO' (or some number of upper and lowercase o's), you can get the package listing sorted by only status (the leftmost indicator). Using '+' on the "Installed packages" line, '-' on the "Removed packages" line, and '_' on the "Purged packages" line will reset everything to the state of the leftmost indicator (modulo any conflicts, deal with them appropriately). -- finger for GPG public key.
