In fact that's exactly what I had...
Funny that we both used the same package for this test!
(sorry no attachment of the initial email because I don't know how to do it
with Gmail android)

> 1. Get a brand new Windows 11 install.  (I'm using the Microsoft-

> 3. From PowerShell, cd to the download directory, then run
>    `.\setup-86_64.exe -P 2048-cli`.
>
> 4. Click through the screens that appear, leave default options selected
>    where possible, and select https://mirror.kernel.org as the mirror,
>    until you get to the package selector screen.
>
> 5. At the package selector screen, since this is a brand new install,
>    you should be on the Category view, with nothing expanded.  Expand
>    All > Games, and All > Base.  For all the base packages, and the
>    2048-cli package under Games, I'd expected the latest non-test
>    version to be selected in the "New" column, but instead the "New"
>    column is blank for all those packages.  (It shows "Skip", as
>    expected, for all the packages I'm not expecting to be installed.)
>
> 6. Switch to Pending view.  I'd expected to see a list showing all the
>    base packages, plus 2048-cli, as packages pending installation, but
>    instead there's just a note saying "Nothing to install or update."
>
> 7. Click Next.  The "Review and confirm changes" screen that appears has
>    a list of packages to install that looks like what I'd expect based
>    on the command line -- a bunch of things that look like they're part
>    of base Cygwin, plus 2048-cli -- but clearly doesn't match what was
>    displayed on the previous screen.

> dependency resolution got updated such that setup suggested a variety of
> dependency resolutions.  I've not actually tried going back and checking
