Umm. I did not select anything new with dselect -- the
packages selected are the same ones apt was happy with yesterday
morning. I just did a dselect update; and apt now blows a fuse.
If I *had* selected anything new, that would be a point of
departure for investigation -- but that does not seem to be the
case. Some packages hae to be updated -- I am attaching a list
below.

Well, there are no dselect selections, only sendmail is held
(which should not be causing this, should it?), and I do have the
latest version.
