deselect & aptitude show different packages !!!
Hi
I am using ustable, with kernel 2.4.5. Aptitude shows many more packages
than deselect . Moreover while deselect shows no broken dependencies
aptitude shows that some installed packages are broken ("iB" in red).
I am perplexed by this. Any ideas what may be going wrong ? Which
should I use to install packages ? . Does aptitude inform the user in advance
of possible conflicts like deselect does ?
I wonder if my source list has any thing to do with this. I kind of cooked it
up myself (and was not to sure) but it work ; and I would like to be with
the latest unstable distribution ? (sources.list are attached)
