Hi, All of my installed packages show up as Obsolete/local packages when using dselect:
------- Obsolete/local Required packages in section base ------- *** Req base adduser 3.8 <none> *** Req base ae 962-21.1 <none> *** Req base base-files 2.1.0 <none> *** Req base base-passwd 2.0.3.3 <none> ... I've seen this before when switching to the 'apt' method in dselect, and going back to 'ftp' has always solved it, but no more. I deleted my /var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/ packages files and redownloaded them but to no avail. I'm running slink, upgraded from hamm. I've seen this happen with 'apt' on several machines, but only just saw it from 'ftp' too. Any ideas how I would go about resolving this? Thanks, -- Pete Harlan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
