I am observing an odd problem while upgrading to 1.5.16.
I select the "Keep" radio button (as I want to upgrade just package cygwin),
then click on "View" to get the Full view. Then I find the Cygwin
package, and click on the selector to cycle through the options.
But I am not presented with 1.5.16 - only 1.5.15. When I switch to
the "Curr" radio button, I do see 1.5.16 - but only the once. If I
cycle through the selections it doesn't reappear - 1.5.15 transitions
straight to "Uninstall". However, if I click on "Exp" I do see both
1.5.15 and 1.5.16.
Note - I've tried this on two systems, with setup v2.457.2.1 and v2.457.2.2.
In both cases I had a cygwin package earlier than 1.5.15 installed.
Just tried again - selecting "Keep" is not necessary - just go straight
to the Cygwin version selector. It shows 1.5.16 initially, but if you
change it you cannot get it back without selecting "Exp". Aha - but if
you leave it at 1.5.15.1, and then change the setting of another package
(I chose cygutils, just above) then 1.5.16 does reappear. Bizarre!
This could explain the OP's problem.
