I got the "newer version" prompt just now when running setup and
downloaded 2.908 (I was on 2.905).
Now I'm seeing really flaky behavior in 2.908
* Empty Pending list when packages are available
1 Click through all the initial dialogs to the package selection
window (confirm there are packages to update)
2 Click the Back button
3 Click the Next button
At this point the package selection window is empty for me. You can
restore the list by changingthe Keep/Best/Sync option from Best to
Sync and then back to Best.
* "This version of setup is *older* than the one you used last time"
Does not happen the first time the new setup is launched, but then
occurs intermittently thereafter. I saw that message on two
occasions, and the second time setup-x86_64.exe crashed a few
seconds later. No message, the window just closed after I dismissed
the message popup.
Note: When I downloaded the new setup-x86_64.exe I overwrote the
old one, so there's no chance (barring an OS caching bug) I was
running 2.905 at that point.
Since I don't think it will help debug a setup problem I'm not
attaching cygcheck.out, but can make it available if needed.
