It seems, there are no man-pages for dselect and dpkg. They are documented good enough internally, but in my opinion, it would be pretty nice if as many commands as possible had man-pages, as they are the first things one checks, when (s)he want's to learn about an unknown command. But I noticed a real bug too (just a little one but still annoying). This happens when I'm selecting which packages to install with dselect. When I press once 'o', I get to a mode where packages are ordered by their section. Then, when I scroll the list of packages to near the bottom, the upper part of screen suddenly stops moving (for me it happens on package xlockmore, but it might depend, I guess). Everything works still fine, when I push cursor keys the description of the package at lower part of the screen changes as it is supposed to do and when I push the up-arrow few times, things start working correctly again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: Juho A Vuori Subject: Bug#1680: Acknowledgement (was: Missing man-pages & a bug in dselect) In-Reply-To: <199510151954.VAA08927@kruuna.helsinki.fi> References: <199510151954.VAA08927@kruuna.helsinki.fi> Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
