restting package selection

["Philipp Steinkrüger" <steinkrueger@oberberg.net>]

Hi there,


i hit '+' on the wrong package and now a *huge* list of packages
is marked to be removed and a *huge* list is marked to be installed.
the system even asks me if i am sure about what i am doing. i am pretty
sure i dont want dpkg to start removing and installing these packages. now, 
how can i reset the selection ?
i tried to reinstall dpkg and apt, i did a dpkg --get-selections >> 
myselections; sed -e 'deinstall/hold/'; dpkg --set-selections < 
myselections. 

but this wasnt successful, too. 


thanks in advance, 

philipp
