Sorry for the garbage in the last post, resubmitting 
using standard ascii characters for the tree view ...

Upon further testing, I found that this issue only 
occurs when there are multiple local repository folders 
within the same local source tree 
("--local-package-dir" to setup). That is, even to the 
point where only one is populated with package files 
and the same version of setup.ini exists in all of 
them. For example, the following structure will produce 
the problem.

==================================
CYGWIN\1.7.16-1
|    setup.exe
|
|---http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirrors.pair.com%2f
| |    setup.ini
| |
| +---release
|     +---aalib
| |       +---libaa1
| |              libaa1-1.4rc5-10.tar.bz2
v v
v v (snipped)
v v
| |
| +---_update-info-dir
|        _update-info-dir-01074-1.tar.bz2
|
+---_http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirrors.pair.com%2f
        setup.ini
==================================

However, if setup.ini is deleted from the secondary 
repositories, the problem does not manifest.

Is this is a bug? Or is setup only designed to allow 
only one local repository folder?

Kind regards,
Ken
