dselect

["Donald D. Daniel" <donald.daniel@worldnet.att.net>]

dselect worked perfectly.  Then I attempted to use it, instead of dpkg,
to install a *.deb file off
my disk.  I found my mistake, and sucessfully installed with dpkg -i.
However, now dselect
hangs on "update", and dselect cannot list any packages not on
"binary-1".  I would be tempted
to use dpkg to remove and reinstall dslect, but that might remove dpkg
too, then I would have
no way to re-install packages without erasing the disk and reinstalling
the complete system.

How do I reinstall or re-initialize dslect?
