-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Andrew Schulman on 1/9/2009 7:42 AM: > Subject says it all. setup sees the package as new, and reinstalls it, every > time. > > Is this a known problem? I didn't see any other reports of it. Is there a > simple fix or workaround?
The package is a source-only package, but something else you have selected depends on it. Because it is source-only, setup.exe has nothing to install when doing the default binary-only installation; and even if you do install source, setup.exe doesn't recognize that a source-only package has been installed. Until someone patches setup.exe to add something like a check-box to ignore source-only packages, then this will always be the case. At least it is in the category of annoying but harmless; you aren't missing any files necessary for gcc to work correctly. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
