Ok, following up myself, I got a log after hitting the cancel button,

Libtool requires autoconf, automake, but what requires sysvinit?  None of
the selected packages, but GConf2 which I have installed.

I'm also pretty sure that I have decided to NOT remove clear and to NOT
update to ncurses latest.  And the same for for libpcre.  Now I have NO
clear at my system, no libpcre anymore.

I think, this is bad. I cannot unselect the packages because they are
automatically selected after the package chooser.  I never wanted to
upgrade my libtool installation, btw. why was libtool selected at all?

It is really a good thing that setup notes that there MAY BE some packages
missing to fulfill requirements, however, it cannot know it for sure, i.e.
if I use my own versions of some packages, and It MUST NOT add packages
to the installation list on its own behalf!

	
This setup.exe is trash, I'll revert to some older version now.

Good day,
Gerrit
