Setup 2.24 - sometimes silently downgrades versions


Installing from our local mirror (without cygwin-1.1.5-3 yet).

Partial package listing after installing from Internet suggests:

cygwin 1.1.5-2 -> 1.1.4
gcc    2.92.2-3 -> 2.95.2-2

This is O.K., because installed versions are test ones and suggested release.
But there are actually more test versions; expanding to full list shows, that
setup actually downgrades:

ash    20001012 -> 20000823
binutils 20001029-1 -> 20000722-1
termcap 20001020-1 -> 20000630

So, even if I select "keep" for both cygwin and gcc in partial display, setup
still installs (downgrade) other three packages. I attach setup.ini,
setup.log.full and installed.db.

Note, also, that there is no "test version" indication in setup list (where
this `x' is expected to be?)
