Something strange here

# dselect
dselect: configuration error: unknown option option: Success

# which dselect
/usr/bin/dselect

# /usr/bin/dselect
dselect: configuration error: unknown option option: Success

# ls -l /usr/bin/dselect
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       154792 Oct 28 03:45 /usr/bin/dselect

Several days ago it worked

I have run following commands to fix OOo1.1

# dselect update
# apt-get dist-upgrade

Now "dselect" can't work.  Shall I reinstall it with 

# apt-get remove dselect

Then

# apt-get install dselect

B.R.
Stephen
