As Dan explained the default behavior of cygwin setup is to update
already installed packages and their dependencies.
Maybe so but even I find that this is cumbersome. I would prefer a
choice upfront just after the download and parsing of setup.ini if I
want to update previously installed items. I haven't mentioned it
because I don't have time to help develop that.
Also, my recent experience was that if I toggled the updated package
that was causing the trouble to 'Keep', even though _it_ didn't show up
in the download list, the (large) dependencies offering _did_ still turn
up.
If you haven't updated recently, and you have mediainfo-gui 0.7.91-1 or
earlier installed, you can reproduce. You should be offered
mediainfo-gui 0.7.93-1. Even if you switch it (and libmediainfo
and mediainfo to be sure) to Keep and proceed, you will be hit with a
large list of dependencies.
The current setup handle a single set of dependency for all revision of
a package (current, previous, test)
It was started a step to create the raw data for version dependency
data, but it is not yet there for all packages and setup will require a
deep modification
