Hi all,

There's a somewhat annoying behavior in setup.exe when installing 
packages in 'keep' mode: all dependencies selected by things which would 
have been installed in 'Curr' mode still try to download. Often I can 
tell that they're spurious and just choose not to install them, but it 
would get messy if the thing to be installed actually had dependencies...

Case in point: downloading gdb-7.3.50-1 requests dependencies 
"ca-certificates-1.78-1" and "libgcj11-4.5.3-3" -- neither of which 
strikes me as a likely candidate, and both of which are highly likely 
candidates given that I'm not at the latest versions of libgcj or 
libcurl4...

Anyone else seen this behavior?
Ryan
