dselect in wheezy; Old timers question
I'm managing a couple of remote VPS servers with no GUI access except
putty. I have been using dselect to assist with this process & up to
yesterday it worked well as it has for years. I did a apt-get
distupgrade and all went as expected and the system is running fine.
However after I did the upgrade from old stable to wheezy, I decided
that I needed to get an upgraded openjdk-7-jre installed for the game
systems I'm running. When I did that the dselect decided I needed a lot
of extra stuff to go along and I hit 'ctrl x' to abandon those changes.
I reloaded the selections available and went into get ONLY the jre that
I needed using apt-get install & the entire load of X related stuff
popped up. Now I have tried to clear the caches of dselect and apt but
they all seem stuck. Running apt-get clean & autoclean do not clear the
dselect picked dependencies.
Any ideas on how to get the dependencies & suggested selections cleared
out.
Thanks
John
