The dselect documentation :-) Excuse me... it would be nice if you
consult the documentation first.

The last asterisk stands for will be installed, the one left of it for
last request was "install", but if it is actually installed, there is
a third asterisk in front of the two. So you most likely forgot to
execute step three in dselect -- the actual installation. 

If you did this, and it doesn't work, please run "apt-get install
avview" (sort of low-level install) an post the output...
