Subject: Fwd: [Feature request] Setup64.exe should respect more recent packages' version
From: Vasiliy <testtest_2005 AT ukr DOT net>

Ok, I understand, and, yes, it's also about setup.exe. That would be
true if the package was marked as 'a test package', aka those marked
'[test]' in setup.ini, but what if they were not? From my example bash
4.2 is not marked as [test] (I've changed 'installed.db' file
accordingly), yet setup(64) downgrades it to 4.1

Why not use two conditions instead of just one? Say, 'if package is
more recent, and not marked as [test], then do not downgrade (keep)'.

Could it be possible for Setup64.exe that it would not offer
downgrading packages by default if their more recent counterparts are
installed? Example of an undesirable behavior: installed is bash 4.2,
but 4.1 version is wrongly suggested, etc.

Setup suggests downgrading only when you've install a test package.
There's nothing distinctive about 'setup.64.exe' vs 'setup.exe' in
this regard.
