RE: dselect apt-get coordination



The /etc/apt/apt.conf files is extremely customizable. See 'man
apt.conf' for all the details.

The biggest problem I have with dselect over apt-get: it is easier to
pick which version of a particular package I want to install when
multiple versions are available with apt-get.

How do you coordinate apt-get and dselect
so that they "want" the same packages?

If I understand the apt-get man page
running "apt-get dselect-upgrade" will
set up the system per the setting last
made using dselect.  Correct?

How do you the inverse?  That is how
do you alter the dselect database to
reflect packages installed with apt-get
or, put another way, to reflect the
current state of the system?
(So that a casual use of dselect does
not materially alter the system.)

Thanks.
