Introduction to package selections

67.

Welcome to dselect's main package listing.

You will be presented with a list of packages which are installed or available
for installation. You can navigate around the list using the cursor keys,
mark packages for installation (using '+') or deinstallation (using '-').
Packages can be marked either singly or in groups; initially you will see that
the line 'All packages' is selected. '+', '-' and so on will affect all the
packages described by the highlighted line.

Some of your choices will cause conflicts or dependency problems; you will be
given a sub-list of the relevant packages, so that you can solve the problems.

You should read the list of keys and the explanations of the display.
Much on-line help is available, please make use of it - press '?' at
any time for help.

When you have finished selecting packages, press <enter> to confirm changes,
or 'X' to quit without saving changes. A final check on conflicts and
dependencies will be done - here too you may see a sublist.

Press <space> to leave help and enter the list now.

Introduction to read-only package list browser

69.

Welcome to dselect's main package listing.

You will be presented with a list of packages which are installed or available
for installation. Since you do not have the privilege necessary to update
package states, you are in a read-only mode. You can navigate around the
list using the cursor keys (please see the 'Keystrokes' help screen), observe
the status of the packages and read information about them.

You should read the list of keys and the explanations of the display.
Much on-line help is available, please make use of it - press '?' at
any time for help.

When you have finished browsing, press 'Q' or <enter> to quit.

Press <space> to leave help and enter the list now.

Introduction to conflict/dependency resolution sub-list

71.

Dependency/conflict resolution - introduction.

One or more of your choices have raised a conflict or dependency problem -
some packages should only be installed in conjunction with certain others, and
some combinations of packages may not be installed together.

You will see a sub-list containing the packages involved. The bottom half of
the display shows relevant conflicts and dependencies; use 'i' to cycle between
that, the package descriptions and the internal control information.

A set of 'suggested' packages has been calculated, and the initial markings in
this sub-list have been set to match those, so you can just hit Return to
accept the suggestions if you wish. You may abort the change(s) which caused
the problem(s), and go back to the main list, by pressing capital 'X'.

You can also move around the list and change the markings so that they are more
like what you want, and you can 'reject' my suggestions by using the capital
'D' or 'R' keys (see the keybindings help screen). You can use capital 'Q' to
force to accept the situation currently displayed, in case you want to
override a recommendation or think that the program is mistaken.

Press <space> to leave help and enter the sub-list; remember: press '?' for help.

Display, part 1: package listing and status chars

73.

The top half of the screen shows a list of packages. For each package you see
four columns for its current status on the system and mark. In terse mode (use
'v' to toggle verbose display) these are single characters, from left to right:

Error flag: Space - no error (but package may be in broken state - see below)
'R' - serious error during installation, needs reinstallation;
Installed state: Space - not installed;
'*' - installed;
'-' - not installed but config files remain;
packages in these { 'U' - unpacked but not yet configured;
states are not { 'C' - half-configured (an error happened);
(quite) properly { 'I' - half-installed (an error happened);
installed { 'W','t' - triggers are awaited resp. pending.
Old mark: what was requested for this package before presenting this list;
Mark: what is requested for this package:
'*': marked for installation or upgrade;
'-': marked for removal, but any configuration files will remain;
'=': on hold: package will not be installed, upgraded or removed;
'_': marked for purge completely - even remove configuration;
'n': package is new and has yet to be marked for install/remove/&c.

Also displayed are each package's Priority, Section, name, installed and
available version numbers (shift-V to display/hide) and summary description.

74.

Display, part 2: list highlight; information display

75.

* Highlight: One line in the package list will be highlighted. It indicates
which package(s) will be affected by presses of '+', '-' and '_'.

* The dividing line in the middle of the screen shows a brief explanation of
the status of the currently-highlighted package, or a description of which
group is highlighted if a group line is. If you don't understand the
meaning of some of the status characters displayed, go to the relevant
package and look at this divider line, or use the 'v' key for a verbose
display (press 'v' again to go back to the terse display).

* The bottom of the screen shows more information about the
currently-highlighted package (if there is only one).

It can show an extended description of the package, the internal package
control details (either for the installed or available version of the
package), or information about conflicts and dependencies involving the
current package (in conflict/dependency resolution sublists).

Use the 'i' key to cycle through the displays, and 'I' to hide the
information display or expand it to use almost all of the screen.
