Package: dpkg
Version: 1.2.14elf
When using dselect with access method=floppy and filesystem=msdos, and after
updating to the latest Packages file (Debian 1.1.8), a number of packages were
selected as requiring updating/upgrading. Going on to attempt to Install these
packages gave the message that all packages were up to date.
If the access method was changed to a mounted filesystem and the Install
attempted again (and after copying the relevant .deb files to the mounted
filesystem) then a dpkg command is echoed (something like dpkg -iGROEB) and
the relevant updated packages are found and updated.
It looks like this "dpkg -iGROEB" is not being issued when dselect is using
access method=floppy and filesystem=msdos?
