Hello cygwinners, I've observed for several weeks something strange, and I'd like to ask here if it's a bug or my misunderstanding.
I've just tried this: 1. Run setup.exe version 2.874 (32 bit). 2. Select the option "Download Without Installing", to download a basic (default) repository to an empty local directory. 3. I see a "Resolving Dependencies" window, showing extra packages that supposedly will be intalled to satisfly some dependencies. I accept the default settings. Well, after the setup program is done downloading all the packages to my new local repo, I repeat the above process, to verify that this second time there is no need to download anything. But to my surprise, in the "Select Packages" stage, if I select the "Pending" view, I see again the same list of packages of the first time, and when I click "next", I see the same "Resolving Dependencies" window with the same extra packages. Finally, when I click "next", no dowloading takes place this time. This seems to me like a bug in the installer. I think that the "Pending" view should be empty the second time I ran the installer (and of course no "extra dependencies" should be advertised to install). Thanks in advance for your help. -- Dani Moncayo -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
