Setup still shows coreutils 9.1 as test, but it should *NOT* be

Then shouldn't you remove it? And you could also upload an
override.hint file with a "replace-versions" line for the sake of
people who have already installed it.
I tried various measures and thought override.hint with
replace-versions: 9.1-1 was there.
It is there, so whatever you did worked. But that doesn't prevent
people from installing 9.1-1. If someone installs 9.1-1, then the
*next* time they run setup they'll get the suggestion to downgrade it.
I previously asked about reverting the release, and did as suggested.
If you really don't want anyone to install 9.1-1, you should remove it.
How do I get calm and setup to do that in the release area?
I have manually uploaded empty:
x86{,64}/release/coreutils{,/coreutils-debuginfo}/-coreutils-9.1-1.{,-src}.{hint,tar.xz}
and created !ready files in:
x86{,64}/release/coreutils{,/coreutils-debuginfo}/
which appears to have moved the files to the vault(/Attic) and dropped
the entries from setup.ini
That seems like a job for a cygport command like remove/vault! ;^>
