Yes, you should. I'm not sure why it is not working as expected in your 
case, but here's one shot-in-the-dark: A few days ago I responded to a 
newsgroup question about a possible bug in the Select Required 
functionality. The person asking the question seemed to observe that 
unless a particular update site was expanded in the list, Select 
Required would not search it. So can you try your scenario again, this 
time making sure to expand the Europa site before hitting Select Required?

Hope this helps,
