I tried that to narrow down the problem so in this case I refused the 
dependency which was on texlive-collection-basic only.

At this step texlive-collection-basic only, there was no dependency on 
other packages indicated.

But before it was update of many packages suggested by Setup which was 
not successfull.

Have you any comment on perl and dash processes after manual stop of Setup?

Thank you for help.
