Subject:	Broken package selection for a full install
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

I installed cygwin (version 1.5.7) using setup.exe.  I downloaded all 
the files locally, then cycled to "Install" rather than "Default" for 
selection "All".  A large number of post-install scripts produced the 
error dialog "A required .DLL file CYGPCRE.DLL is missing" and "A 
required .DLL file CYGKPATHSEA-3.DLL is missing".  A perusal of the 
mailing list in some recent messages gave me a clue:  It seems that 
setup (or dependencies in a lot packages) are broken, and the libraries 
required are not always selected (in this case libpcre and libkapthsea3).

I have fired up setup and opened up every branch, and discovered that 
there are actually quite a few packages that were not installed.  Either 
  cycling to "Install" in "All" is not what I thought (install 
everything), or setup is broken.  Well setup is broken anyway because, 
it should, at a minimum, install all dependencies.

Cheers,

Daniel
