I tried to use dselect several times do perform tasks like that, but
unfortunatelly I have had no success at all. If I were you I would use
_dpkg_ and this is the command that dselect performs: dpkg -iGROEB .
This command prevents downgrading, conflicts, etc, etc, etc... Up
to now it has worked great for me, I have always done my upgrades by
hand... :)
