	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.
