Package: dselect
Version: 1.10.28
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/dselect
The user, forgetting that dselect is not apt-get or aptitude,
mistakenly types
# dselect remove some_small_package
'running dpkg --pending --remove ...
[Maybe the ... represents some_small_package, maybe it just means
"pausing". Not clear.]
which then probably proceeds to usually remove much more than
some_small_package, due to lack of checking of arguments.
P.S., the man page mentions
USAGE
When dselect is started interactively, it prompts the user with a menu
of available actions:
However, it never gets around to mention when dselect is started
non-interactively.
