Subject: setup.exe 2.78.2.3 bug!
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hello,

I recently downloaded setup.exe 2.78.2.3 and used it.  If you choose 
"Download from Internet" and select a Local Package Directory, the "Select 
Packages to Download" screen compares the package versions on the FTP site 
with the INSTALLED versions of the packages instead of any packages already 
present in the "Local Package Directory" (These two sets are not 
necessarily the same!).  Under the "Current" column, it displays the 
versions of the installed packages too, instead of the packages in the 
"Local Package Directory".  If your installed cygwin is an earlier version 
(i.e. you didn't get approval from the boss to upgrade but wanted to keep 
the most current set of packages on your machine), and your "Local Package 
Directory" contains all of the most recent packages as yet not installed, 
the "Select Packages to Download" screen will inform you that you have 
umpteen packages out of date when in fact you may only have one or two out 
of date.  You can only find out which packages are actually newer than the 
ones in the "Local Package Directory" by selecting "download" and checking 
the log file afterwards.
