Синопсис (Synopsis)

dselect [option...] [command...]


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.
