I update debian with dselect: Access + mounted + scan (in dir /debian) When I have two version of same pkg, dselect is cunfused. E.g.: in /debian if I have: A- libc6_2.1.2-11.deb B- libc6-dev_2.1.2-10.deb C- libc6-dev_2.1.2-11.deb dselect find that the libc6 and libc6-dev are in conflit, but when I press 'i' I see that the two package are of the same version (2.1.2-11), and there are not other possible conflits. If there are not such conflits, dselect fails installing or configuring the package. (this happen with tetex-base I my case). I think that 'scan' should scan package, and ignore old packages.
