I've got Windows Defender on here - it came with the computer and doesn't show up under the Program Files, so I'm not sure that it's uninstallable. I also have AVG on here, which isn't in the list of BLODA programs, but is an antivirus program. That was installed after cygwin, and I can remove

"requires" line for cygwin; bug in upset?

Since the cygwin package provides some info files, shouldn't its "requires" line in setup-2.ini include _update-info-dir? Unfortunately, the cygwin package (at least in 1.7.0-58) also provides a very minimal /usr/share/info/dir, so the failure to run /etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh means t
