The top half of the screen shows a list of packages. For each package you see
four columns for its current status on the system and mark. In terse mode (use
`v' to toggle verbose display) these are single characters, from left to right:

Error flag: Space - no error (but package may be in broken state - see below)
`R' - serious error during installation, needs reinstallation;
Installed state: Space - not installed;
`*' - installed;
`-' - not installed but config files remain;
packages in these { `U' - unpacked but not yet configured;
states are not { `C' - half-configured (an error happened);
(quite) properly { `I' - half-installed (an error happened);
installed { `W',`t' - triggers are awaited resp. pending.
Old mark: what was requested for this package before presenting this list;
Mark: what is requested for this package:
`*': marked for installation or upgrade;
`-': marked for removal, but any configuration files will remain;
`=': on hold: package will not be processed at all;
`_': marked for purge completely - even remove configuration;
`n': package is new and has yet to be marked for install/remove/&c.

Also displayed are each package's Priority, Section, name, installed and
available version numbers (shift-V to display/hide) and summary description.

Display, part 2: list highlight; information display

74.

* Highlight: One line in the package list will be highlighted. It indicates
which package(s) will be affected 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 (either for the installed or available version of the
package), or information about conflicts and dependencies involving the
current package (in conflict/dependency resolution sublists).

Use the `i' key to cycle through the displays, and `I' to hide the
information display or expand it to use almost all of the screen.

Introduction to method selection display

76.

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. You will then
be prompted for the information required to do the installation.

As you move the highlight a description of each method, where available, is
displayed in the bottom half of the screen.

If you wish to quit without changing anything use the `x' key while in the list
of installation methods.

A full list of keystrokes is available by pressing `k' now, or from the help
menu reachable by pressing `?'.
