If you see any further problems, please report them as new bugs - I'm closing this one.

I think you're seeing a bug in ncurses. I'm going to rebuild dpkg with the latest ncurses soon.

Robinson" package: dselect version: 0.93.42 Sometimes dselect won't redraw the lower display-screen properly. When I look at bison-parsers, and then choose the next package, a bit from bison-parsers screen still displays. I suspect this may be due to packages with incorrect description layouts. But is there some way to make dselect to a hard redraw as well as the reseting to top of screen that we discussed before?
