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?
