'theTrust' is a global setting, so 'pack-trustp (theTrust)' would probably fail for any packages that don't have an experimental version when 'Exp' is selected. Also, all versions have the same dependencies anyway. The problem is that we're only checking whether a dependency is installed at all, not whether we've got the appropriate version of it. Also, the list of missing packages that 'isMet' creates doesn't allow for specific versions. Andy

And you'll get trouble trying to reinstall it, because your old previously downloaded 4.3.4-3 packages now won't match the md5sum of the silently-upgraded-in-place packages listed in the current version of setup.ini. Also, it seems that it's no longer possible to select the Retrieve (meaning re-download) option for those packages. You may have to blow away that part of your package dir; doing so allowed me to redownload 4.3.4-3 and reinstall it successfully, at any rate. cheers, DaveK

Another problem is that the dependencies don't work: if you select the test versions of a bunch of the language compilers, they don't cause the test versions of the related runtime libs to get automatically selected. I downgraded back to 2.701 to see whether that worked with instant dependency selection: it didn't. Phew, not a regression. I guess the quick way to a consistent gcc-4.5 install is to just click the 'Exp' button, although of course that drags in any other experimental packages too. On the other hand, setup is no longer trying to automatically downgrade the test packages any more. It still does that for me, but once all experimental packages are installed anyway, the 'Exp' button is an easy workaround. But on the down side, it won't let me manually downgrade them either. I had to uninstall all the 4.5.0 version packages in one step and then reinstall 4.3.4 in a second run through setup.exe. I can't reproduce that. I tried upgrading to g++-4.5 and back to 4.3.4 and it worked. Andy
