It is in the setup.ini file (which is generated from the individual setup.hint files), which are not directly seen by the user but parsed by setup.exe. > Where is it?

Yes, whenever you select a package for installation it should also select for installation all packages that that package requires. > When I look under Devel in setup.exe the binaries for binutils are > checked but without any download date.

(Maybe because of slow download here.) Ah, that might explain it. Setup is not all that great about error recovery. Fortunately you can work around this by just running it again if anything abnormal happens. Every time you run setup it will first add any packages that are not installed but listed as a requirement by packages that are installed. So if you just run it, and don't select anything, then you should get any missing dependencies downloaded and installed.
