How to fix dselect
Okay, I've just tried to uninstall both KDE *and* Gnome in order to fix
my problems, and have found the source of my problem a little bit
better, but not how to fix it:
Dselect seems to be hopelessly jammed up.
If anyone has some suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
Situation Review:
Trying to install KDE version of cupsys, kept getting a message
"libopencdk0 not available -- cupsys depends on libopencdk0". So I did
a google search, found the file, stuck it in /home/Public, and then ran
> dpkg --install ./libopencdk0_0.2.deb
Now whenever dselect runs "Install", I see
dpkg --admin dir /var/lib/dpkg -iGROEB /home/Public
Version 0.2.0-1 of libopencdk0 already installed, skipping.
Installation OK. Hit RETURN.
and it never installs or uninstalls any other software.
How do I reset dselect so I can actually *uninstall* all of KDE, and
then *maybe* again try to reinstall KOffice, at least, and *maybe* again
try to install KDE 3.0.4?
Note: I did try aptitude, and aside from the fact that it is super
slow, I don't have the aptitude yet to figure it out. I have to learn
these things slowly, it seems, only one new system at a time.
