    How do you coordinate apt-get and dselect
    so that they "want" the same packages?

    If I understand the apt-get man page
    running "apt-get dselect-upgrade" will
    set up the system per the setting last
    made using dselect. Correct?

    How do you the inverse? That is how
    do you alter the dselect database to
    reflect packages installed with apt-get
    or, put another way, to reflect the
    current state of the system?
    (So that a casual use of dselect does
    not materially alter the system.)

    Thanks.
