The bottom half of +the display shows relevant conflicts and dependencies; use `i' to cycle between +that, the package descriptions and the internal control information. + +A set of `suggested' selections has been calculated, and the initial selections +in this sub-list have been set to match those, so you can just hit Return to +accept the suggestions if you wish. You may abort the change(s) which caused +the problem(s), and go back to the main list, by pressing capital `X'. + +You can also move around the list and change the selections so that they are +more like what you want, and you can `reject' my suggestions by using the +capital `D' or `R' keys (see the keybindings help screen). You can use capital +`Q' to force me to accept the current selections, in case you want to override +a recommendation or think that the program is mistaken. + +Press Space to leave help and enter the sub-list; remember: press `?' for help. + +@@@ displayexplain1 Display, part 1: package listing and status chars + +The top half of the screen shows a list of packages. For each package you see +four columns for its current status and selected-ness. In terse mode (use `v' +to toggle verbose display) these are single characters, from left to right: + + Hold/error flag: h - you have put the package on Hold - it won't be processed + R - serious error during installation, needs reinstallation; + X - serious error, needs reinstallation, package also on hold + Installed state: Space - not installed; + `*' - installed; + `-' - not installed but config files remain; + `u' - unpacked but not yet configured; + `C' - half-configured (an error happened); + `I' - half-installed (an error happened). + Old selection: whether this package was selected before presenting this list; + Selection: whether this package is selected for installation: + `*': selected for installation; + `-': deselected (selected for removal, but configuration files will remain); + `_': deselected (purge completely, even remove configuration); + `n': package is new to this system (appears under `Old selection'). + +Following those four columns are the Priority and Section of the package, +its name (possibly truncated to fit) and the summary description. + +@@@ displayexplain2 Display, part 2: list highlight; information display + +* Highlight: One line in the package list will be highlighted. It indicates + which package(s) will be selected/deselected by presses of `+', '-' and `_'. + +* The dividing line in the middle of the screen shows a brief explanation of + the status of the currently-highlighted package, or a description of which + group is highlighted if a group line is. If you don't understand the + meaning of some of the status characters displayed, go to the relevant + package and look at this divider line, or use the `v' key for a verbose + display (press `v' again to go back to the terse display). + +* The bottom of the screen shows more information about the + currently-highlighted package (if there is only one). + + It can show an extended description of the package, the internal package + control details, or information about conflicts and dependencies involving + the current package (in conflict/dependency resolution sublists). + + Use the `i' key to cycle through the displays. + +@@@ methintro Introduction to method selection display + +dselect and dpkg can do automatic installation, loading the package files to be +installed from one of a number of different possible places. + +This list allows you to select one of these installation methods. + +Move the highlight to the method you wish to use, and hit Enter.
