No, I didn't. Is that the correct procedure? Continuing the above
example, dselect currently thinks that X version some.thing is
installed (whatever the version is included with slink), not 3.3.6
which actually is. I guess I can build .debs for the few things I have
installed manually, remove the manually installed stuff, then install
from .debs. Thanks for the info.
