I've just investigated an anomaly with the base-passwd package, which turns out to be an incorrect setup.hint file in the repository.
repository base-passwd directories contain base-passwd-2.0-1.tar.bz2 30-Nov-2003 07:16 1k base-passwd-2.1-1.tar.bz2 21-Aug-2004 11:48 1k md5.sum 21-Aug-2004 13:54 1k setup.hint 16-Jul-2004 02:11 1k but the setup.hint file contains sdesc: "A script to set up initial passwords and groups" requires: cygwin ash category: base test: 2.0-1 curr: 1.1-1 Is 2.0-1 curr and 2.1-1 test, or is 2.0-1 prev and 2.1-1 curr?
