The last part is probably a result of how the dselect access method you use is implemented. There is nothing in libstdc++2.8 that requires dpkg to unconfigure itself. > Since I'm running dselect, how is this supposed to work? I suspect this will work if you use "apt" as dselect's access method. In any case, you should be able to work things out in dselect after you've upgraded libstdc++2.8 through dpkg.
