No worries.  Getting more testing is good.  As long as people are aware
that "test" version means *test* version and that in case of a bug, it
might happily eat your PC, and rightfully so ;)

I uploaded a supposedly (hopefully) fixed version to

  https://cygwin.com/setup-test-x86.exe
  https://cygwin.com/setup-test-x86_64.exe

It works for me(TM).

It also fixes another subtil problem I encountered while testing.  When
checking and unchecking the Bin/Src boxes, if both boxes were
deselected, the package got uninstalled without showing up in the
"Pending" view.  I worked around that by setting the package state
explicitely to "Uninstall" if both boxes got deselected.

Oh, how I wish *that* were true...


Thanks,
