This bug is reported (in section ftp.debian.org). I saw that because I wanted to report it too. The solution I found is using sed -e '/unstable/s//frozen/' Packages.frozen > Packages.f; mv Packages.f Packages.frozen just after downloading the package list. (Before dselect reads it !). I used this only at installation time, but it worked perfectly. Hope this helps, Alexandre -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Bo Package List
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- A few days ago I posted an example of dselect not clearing the selection list if a dir was replaced with another i.e. rex - bo. The example I used showed that even though I wanted bo I was getting unstable. I did some checking today and found, even though I thought it was a stupid idea to check, that the packages file under bo/binary-i386 points to unstable/binary-i386. I wouldn't think much of this discrepency except that there isn't an unstable directory on ftp.debian.org. If I remember correctly unstable was a link pointing to bo. Why would this file point to a link that points back to the directory it's in to begin with? I assume that the unstable dir was removed since bo is no longer conciderred unstable. What's up with the packages file pointing to unstable? How is it that others are installing bo and not run accross this yet? Have a good one. - -- Rick Jones E-Mail: Rick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 15-Apr-97 Time: 16:27:36 - -- -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBM1PkuAi+Ph+i3TgpAQFaBwP/TrXY5Wgq/JXaApE1A5ZWX2SVNjwyuwTN XVh/82VPzywxMYP3MNs+GxysYiAeK9koUpy1qYCm2u/4syJVwbYIjwlRBFIaNX9h sbnL2b3YpwENvusVS15tCE34p9qpsnNMdhRNkbVORYEqC9/bb1ol8+sP56/PO4UA GrzlgehrlBE= =OM/Y -END PGP SIGNATURE-
