The "expected" workflow in aptitude is that you pick all the changes
you want to make, then ask aptitude to show you all the changes that
will be made (including ones that were required by your past changes).

Hi,
I have downloaded the 2.1r2 version and when
I come to installing in dselect/apt/ftp I get a lot
of the error:
'The size of the file is not what I expected. ERROR ..'
I have checked the files and the size is right as far as
I can see.
Most grateful if somebody can tell me what to do.
I'm new to Debian, and I'm finding dselect to be
troublesome.
I first tried the multi-CD access method, but got
confused, so before going too far I decided to use
apt to download from the Internet. I used the default

Is there any way to add a single package using dselect without updating
the Packages file. All I want to do is add the man-db and netstd
packages to the base system.
Seems like the deselect is overkill and dpkg is underkill.
?Why wouldnt these packages be part of the base

dselect properly. I have it set to go to ftp.debian.org and look in

Hi,
this is probably a stupid, simple question, but here it goes:
I know many people do not use dselect at all. How do one know which
packages were upgraded in the ftp server without using dselect, so
that he/she can keep things up-to-date, not using dselect?
Thanks.
PS: BTW, when does deity

How do you set dselect to use an ftp proxy? I tried setting a
ftp_proxy environment variable but that didn't seem to work.

: Yes. Use an FTP site that carries unstable, and configure dpkg-ftp (through
: "[A]ccess") to use the directories "dists/unstable/main",
: "dists/unstable/contrib" and "dists/unstable/non-free".
This is noted in Scott Ellis's libc5 ==> libc6 upgrade FAQ; it addresses
many other points you will pro

Great, thanks. Worked like a charm. Went and got the Packages files, ran
DSELECT and had 55M of files to get!!! Whoops! I had to take them out again to
get any sense back into DSELECT.
Would you expect this to happen or did I do something wrong??
Thanks for your help.

Can you use dselect and the unstable packages vis FTP. If so how? I couldn't
seem to find a Packages file with all the unstable stuff (for instance tcl8)
How should I setup the FTP packages?
