No, dselect is not the same thing as apt (either apt-get or
aptitude). It's deprecated, and has been for about 7 or 8 years.
Please forget about dselect, and use aptitude or synaptic.

OK. Something's been screwed up, and it wants to remove your only
kernel. Note the single line with ri at the beginning. This means that
the package is installed (the i) and is scheduled for removal (the r).
No other kernel packages are installed.
Simple solution: use aptitude or synaptic to install a suitable
kernel package.
