Greetings to the Cygwin Team,
Description
*
The setup.ini file introduces a circular dependency between python39, python39-pip, and python39-setuptools.
*
This cycle blocks the installation of python39 and any packages that depend on it.
Configuration Snippet (from setup.ini)
```INI
@ python39
depends2: ..., python39-pip, python39-setuptools, ...
@ python39-pip
depends2: ..., python39, ...
@ python39-setuptools
depends2: ..., python39, ...
```
Consequences
*
Prevents installation of python39, and so python3
*
Also blocks installation of packages that depend on python39, such as:
*
clang
*
gdb
---
Best regards,
Ronan
