Further to my previous post,
As far as I can find out dselect and dpkg use /var/lib/dpkg/available for there package list but apt uses the various files in.........
/var/lib/apt/lists
wrong.
I am NOT dreamming this up, I did an apt-get update followed by an apt dist-upgrade to check this out,and the val/lib/dpkg/availibilty file was not touched, where apt is getting its info from on my system I do not know but its ____not____ from the /var/lib/dpkg/available file. Its possible a full dvd install sets up some different system, I do not know. Lindsay
