Let me guess.. you installed all of the packages the first time you ran dselect.

The problem isn't in the CD; the install utility doesn't quite catch all the dependencies the first time through. If you re-run the install part of dselect a couple of times, everything should get installed. (The only time that this didn't work for me was when perl died on me, and some parts of dselect didn't work.)
