You shouldn't really use dselect. You can use apt-get dselect-upgrade
however. I've found this bug, which seems to the be the issue:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/879324

I tested a workaround, Ubuntu 12.04.1 64-bit:

$ sudo dpkg --set-selections < ubuntu.packages
$ sudo apt-get update
# Turn off multiarch
$ sudo perl -p -i -e 's/^/#/' /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch
$ sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade -u --no-install-recommends
# Turn multiarch back on
$ sudo perl -p -i -e 's/^#//' /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch

this worked. I don't have a 32-bit install handy but, I think this
shouldn't cause problems there either (although there may be no
multiarch file, so that bit may error.) It isn't necessary on Debian.
