RE: apt-cache again!
Ok I'll give you an example (this happened over the weekend). I'm installing
a package using dselect. It comes up with a dependency list, I click ok
then go to install. I then realise that the deps I clicked ok to are
basically asking to uninstall the whole system. Obviously this is a mistake
so I click on no to the prompt, exit dselect, relaunch and it still wants to
remove all the packages. The best I can manage is to close dselect, re-run
apt-get update and relaunch. Then If I choose install it doesn't install
anything which is fine. But if I go into the package listing and then press
enter it gives me the same original depency listing where it wants to remove
all the packages. That is what I am looking for, how to clear dselects
memory
