All we did the last couple of days seems to have helped only marginally,
if at all. This morning I ran a 1.7 Base install from scratch, and the
dependency order is still as screwed up as before:
warning: LOG: 1 Dependency order of packages: libintl3 texinfo
_update-info-dir gawk tzcode libiconv2 coreutils terminfo libncurses8
libreadline6 bash base-cygwin base-passwd cygwin libintl8 alternatives
ash findutils sed base-files libbz2_1 bzip2 libpopt0 cygutils groff
gzip termcap libpcre0 less man cygwin-doc editrights grep ipc-utils
login rebase run tar which
I followed through the dependencies using a pencil and a sheet of paper
(sorry Dave ;)) and from what I can tell there are two dependency
loops which break the entire dependency order:
bash <-> _update_info_dir
texinfo <-> _update_info_dir
All other dependencies are looking sound from what I can tell.
So, I would like to propose to remove the "requires: bash texinfo" line
from _update_info_dir's setup.hint file. It appears that these
requirements break the whole ordering. Maybe we should simply
replace it with "requires: cygwin" instead.
Chris?
