I just updated the packages at ftp://huntharo-4.user.msu.edu/pub/cygwin/
to have a working dependency between XFree86-base and the base XFree86 packages, such as XFree86-xserv, XFree86-fnts, etc. There were two changes required: 1) 'touch contrib/XFree86/XFree86-base/XFree86-base-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2' 2) upset took the list of requirements from XFree86-base/setup.hint and put them in quotes ("cygwin ...") when it created setup.ini. upset didn't do this for any other packages and the Cygwin setup.ini doesn't have quotes around dependency lists, so I guess that the quotes were peculiar to this version of upset, perhaps combined with a list of dependencies that is longer than one line. I removed the quotes from the 'requires' list from XFree86-base and all is now well. Dependencies work for installing. The behavior I noticed when uninstalling is that dependencies are ignored. I'm guessing that setup.exe was designed that way because there isn't really a good way to handle dependencies when uninstalling. Harold
