the newest version of dselect as well as dpkg and often packages in the new

release will need features that are only available in the newest version of dpkg.

Upgrades from 2.0 to 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3 should have none of these problems.

Once this preliminary work has been done, dselect can be run in normal fashion

to perform a complete system upgrade. If there are packages that should not

be upgraded for one reason or another, they can be placed on hold in the

[S]elect screens. To do this, search out the package using the `/' and press

`H'. This will put the package on hold and dselect will do nothing with respect

to this package. Additional packages of interest can be added at this time as

well, so the system can be enhanced by new packages that are of interest.

After configuring these details in [S]elect, the upgrade will proceed as ex 

pected.
