The setup.ini that I just fetched from ftp://cygwin.osuosl.org this morning seems to have all the requires: lines. For example, $ ls -l setup.ini -rwx------+ 1 garyjohn mkgroup-l-d 909563 Feb 5 10:11 setup.ini $ perl -00 -ne 'print if /^@ vim/' setup.ini @ vim sdesc: "Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor" ldesc: "Vim (Vi IMproved) is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor vi. Almost every possible command can be performed using only ASCII characters. Many new features have been added: multilevel undo, command line history, file name completion, block operations, and editing of binary data." category: Editors requires: cygwin terminfo libncurses8 libiconv2 libintl8 If that not what you and others see, I would bet that the old version of that file is being cached by a proxy somewhere in your network path.
