Hi Brian,
Thanks for your quick reply. The output of the two commands you asked for are:
> dir <CYGWIN-ROOT>\etc\setup\installed.db
03/03/2018 20:33 2,499 installed.db
$ wc /etc/setup/installed.db
70 209 2499 /etc/setup/installed.db
If I grep for one of the additional packages that I selected prior to download,
e.g. "bc" from the Math category, it is not listed in the installed.db file.
A directory for bc is present in the download directory, and it contains
the file bc-1.06.95-2.tar.xz.
Do you know if the ability to detect all available downloaded packages was
intentionally removed from setup, or might this be a bug?
Regards,
Robert

What's shown when you do:
> dir <CYGWIN-ROOT>\etc\setup\installed.db
or
$ wc /etc/setup/installed.db
May need a new setup selection for all downloaded/cached packages, unless there
is another way to select these, which the previous release used by default.
