Setup 2.249.2.5 bug: uninstalling existing packages if updateunselected

This may be me doing something wrong, but that's pretty unlikely, as the
procedure was very simple:
I have setup 2.249.2.5.  When I ran it to install a source for some
package, it offered me to update w32api (I had 1.5-1, and 2.0-1 is out).
I didn't want to update just then, and unchecked the checkbox, and then
selected the source I wanted.  Setup proceeded to uninstall w32api
altogether.  When I ran setup again, w32api was showing as not installed.
