Dselect and dpkg do work, but any attempt to add or remove/purge packages
--even forcing-- results in the library error. I changed my sources.list a
while back to unstable (and have done a couple apt-get upgrade(s) since), so
trying to reinstall the base packages could potentially wreak havoc on
various dependencies throughout my system.

I'll check it out. I have already spent a lot of time in the Debian list
archives without much success.
