1) dselect isn't on its way out 2) unlike apt-get, it's allows for interactive package selection during upgrades 3) it fails more gracefully than apt-get if a package doesn't install correctly during an upgrade 4) it handles "recommends/suggests" somewhat well dselect isn't hard to use, it just takes a little while to become accustomed to its behavior. It's very smart, but kinda talks with a strange accent, if you know what I mean. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
