Re: FW: Re: Help, dselect has a package stuck in it's craw
try this
dpkg-statoverride --list
if anything related to laptop-net is shown then do
dpkg-statoverride --remove "path that was shown"
then do a apt-get remove laptop-net
hopefully that is the problem that its an override
thats killing it.
good luck
