The problem was already mentioned long time ago http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-09/msg00311.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-09/msg00389.html and it is one of the most recorrent ones. There are currently 19 packages depending from tcltk, "brltty" is probably the most sensitive from this point of view. The separation of insight from gdb seems one of the key step that cgf is taking to solve this long time problem http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-08/msg00413.html but I have no idea wich are the other blocking points. About expect Cgf was looking long time ago a volunteer http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-08/msg00458.html so this package will likely wait the tcltk upgrade Regards Marco -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
