dselect/APT problems on potato

[Neilen Marais <brick@adept.co.za>]

Hi All

I can't seem to get my dselect and apt-get to play niceley.

If I choose the apt method in dselect, and do an update, I get the
following problem after the package files have been downloaded:


Get:1 ftp://ftp.cdrom.com potato/main Packages [847kB]
Get:2 ftp://ftp.cdrom.com potato/main Release [93B]                    
Get:3 ftp://ftp.cdrom.com potato/contrib Packages [34.1kB]             
Get:4 ftp://ftp.cdrom.com potato/contrib Release [96B]                 
Get:5 ftp://ftp.cdrom.com potato/non-free Packages [78.5kB]            
Get:6 ftp://ftp.cdrom.com potato/non-free Release [97B]

I'm not sure if dselect's idea of packages are getting updated or not? 
If I run apt-get update I don't see any error messages.  Does this also
update dselect?

Thanks
