I haven't used dselect in a while, but if I remember correctly, bug #1642
has been fixed; that is, dselect says "package foo depends on package bar;
however, package bar is not available".

If you think the bug has been fixed, please close it...

	I think this bug is fixed.  I use dselect almost every day and
it does now the Right Think.

	I'll close this bug in a couple of days if noone objects.

Hello,

Report: 1642
Status: Open, can be closed.
Analyse: dselect recursive dependency resolution doesn't do the right thing.
Explanation:
 Raul says that dselect's recursive dependency resolution doesn't work if
 recommended packages aren't available.
Strategy:
 As dselect spits out messages about his today, this bug report can be
 closed.

Thanks,
Marcus
