Hi,
I am having a problem that makes "dselect" unusable: when I go to the
"select" option, it blanks the screen and consumes all cpu but never
finishes. I have run "lsof" and found that during this it opens the file
"/var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i" and nothing else of note. I have just
performed a few (successful) apt-get operations by hand ("apt-get install
somepackage" and "apt-get update") and now dselect started acting this way.
- Maybe something in the downloaded package lists confused dselect. Can I
somehow purge dselect's package lists so that it works again?
- I can't seem to uninstall dpkg or reinstall it either without risking to
seriously break my setup. Is there another front-end besides dselect? Is
there a front-end to apt?
I am using debian 2.1 upgraded from the "unstable" section to libc 2.1. Any
help will be appreciated!
Regards,
Serge
