The original problem was problems with installing the quota package. I'd suggest trying dselect again, but without selecting quota. If that fails to work, or there are lots of problems then the advice above is worth following. When the other packages are installed, try quota again. In either case it is probably worth submitting a bug report - I've checked, and there is only one bug against quota, and it wouldn't have caused your problem. See http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting.html for details on how to submit a bug. The problems occur because packages sometimes depend on other packages being installed. They shouldn't do this (in most cases), but the problems are sometimes difficult to spot. An alternative solution may be to try the packages in frozen - though this includes the same version of quota.
