Here's more info on my troubles with dselect: Dselect says. I choose something new (or nothing at all) from the list of available packages. Then I try to exit the package selection screen and I get a 'Dependency/conflict resolution - introduction.'. Then I get a screen about recursive package listings. Perhaps I need to remove some file and let Debian recreate it?

What exactly does dselect say, what does 'dpkg -l spamassassin libc6' say, what's in /etc/apt/sources.list, and have you installed any packages from outside woody? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
