Описание (Description)
dselect
is one of the primary user interfaces for managing
packages on a Debian system. At the dselect
main menu, the system
administrator can:
- Update the list of available package versions,
- View the status of installed and available packages,
- Alter package selections and manage dependencies,
- Install new packages or upgrade to newer versions.
dselect
operates as a front-end to dpkg(1), the low-level Debian
package handling tool. It features a full-screen package
selections manager with package depends and conflicts resolver.
When run with administrator privileges, packages can be
installed, upgraded and removed. Various access methods can be
configured to retrieve available package version information and
installable packages from package repositories. Depending on the
used access method, these repositories can be public archive
servers on the internet, local archive servers or cdroms. The
recommended access method is apt, which is provided by the
package apt
.
Normally dselect
is invoked without parameters. An interactive
menu is presented, offering the user a list of commands. If a
command is given as argument, then that command is started
immediately. Several command line parameters are still available
to modify the running behaviour of dselect
or show additional
information about the program.
