So the information is available just in a different place than where it should be, the tool I'm using to do the download. Having a separate package to tell me the package dependencies isn't very friendly; I might not have anything installed, certainly not cygcheck-dep and then I have to learn and remember to use it as a side step of installation. -- cyg Simple -- 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
