Sounds like it's time for a patch - adding "Never" to the list of >possibilities for a package update. Now I have to find the setup.exe >code. It's in cvs in the "cinstall" directory. The cvs sources are mentioned in the "Sources in CVS" link on the cygwin web page. Adding a never category should be doable. You could just add something pertinent to /etc/setup/installed.db to record the fact that you don't ever want to install a given package. I think that this would be a nice addition.
