Deleted.
Corinna has inadvertantly discovered a bug in setup 2.259.2.4. I had
expat-1.95.3 installed on my machine and desired to upgrade to the new
release. I decided that, since it was uploaded so recently, I should
verify the contents on my mirror of choice. I just checked the
setup.ini file on mirrors.rcn.net. It contained an entry for the new
expat-1.95.4 with the proper directory path. I examined the files at
the path specified, and they turned out to be the correct version and
md5 sums. I have attached a png of the dialogue for your reference
regarding the upcoming explination. Ok, I fire up setup.exe, point it
to rcn.net, and click "View" once so that it displays all the packages.
I then scroll down to expat, only to find it saying "Keep". I click
"Keep" thinking I might get the new version, but instead it cycles to
"Uninstall". I click again, it cycles back to "Keep". So apparently
setup.exe doesn't like it when the previous package is deleted from the
mirrors. Also, the same behaviour can be seen with the _PostInstallLast
package. The machine involved is running WindowsME. Just thought I'd
give a heads up.
Packages get deleted all of the time.
I had no problem installing either expat or _PostInstallLast just seconds
ago.
What version of setup were you using? My report involves the snapshot,
not the release version.
