Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed X-IsSubscribed: yes Mailing-List: contact cygwin-help AT cygwin DOT com; run by ezmlm List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: cygwin-owner AT cygwin DOT com Mail-Followup-To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Delivered-To: mailing list cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Most recent setup.exe, all my installed packages up-to-date as of now. For at least the past week, when I tried to do any update using setup.exe, the Partial view showed Current New Bin? Src? ... Package 3.3.8b-11 [X] [ ] qt3: C++ GUI application framework (sources) If I left it in this to-be-installed state and continued, installing it and any other updates since the last run, there would be no apparent error and everything else would update, but the next run of setup.exe would show the same qt3 line again. When I changed it to Skip, I got Warning! Unmet Dependencies Found ... Package: qt3 Required by: qt3-doc For qt3-doc, it said Current New Bin? Src? ... Package 3.3.8b-11 Keep n/a [ ] qt3-doc: C++ GUI application framework (documentation) More or less just to see what would happen, I asked to remove qt3-doc, and it did. Then it no longer presented a line in setup.exe for either qt3 or qt3-doc. I then re-ran setup.exe, marked both qt3-doc and qt3 for install, and completed the install. Now the same symptoms have returned: each run of setup.exe again shows the same qt3 line in the Partial view, even if I "installed" it in the last run. I don't know of anything that I have installed that uses qt3* -- at least, I suppose that setup.exe would have complained if any Cygwin package needed it, and surely it's unlikely that anything outside Cygwin would need it. So I may just remove both and leave them uninstalled. Still, I thought I should report this oddity. (While I'm here: out of curiosity, why does qt3's description say "(sources)" when the "Bin?" box is checked?) -- Tim McDaniel, tmcd AT panix DOT com -- 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
