Brian As others said, you need to do an update from dselect, because apt and dselect don't use the same database to keep track of updates. Enjoy. --Brendan

It should reinstall all packages with a ximian version, replacing
them with debian versions (or whatever you put in sources.list).
My problem is that the ximian files are still listed in my dselect list
even though I have taken the site out of my sources.list file. How do I
get rid of them so I can install the ones from progeny and debian sites?
Have you run update from dselect? If so, then they are probably still
listed in dselect, because the packages from ximian are still installed
on your system. The versions of these packages in the debian archive
are lower I guess, so they are not upgraded.
You can try typing this into a root shell:
dselect update
for pkg in $( COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l * | awk '/^ii.*ximian/ {print $2}' )
do
apt-get --reinstall install $pkg
done
Try:
COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l * | grep ximian
to see if that fixed it.

I think if you uninstall them, then run 'apt-get autoclean' after an 'apt-get update' they will be removed from the list of existing packages. HTH, -D
