You haven't selected any method.

just run: 

  dselect

and confinger it (option 0). Since you already have a sources.list...
answer NO to the question.

Then select Quit (option 6)

The you can run:

  dselect update

  deslect select

then run:

  apt-get dselect-upgrade

BTW, 

  apt-get install aptitude

  aptitude

You will never go back to dselect.
