- Subject: Cygwin 1.7: Uninstalling all (base) packages using setup-1.7.exe
After installing all default, base packages in Cygwin,
I attempted to uninstall this base set by clicking on the
"cycle" button/icon of the 'All' category (while the setup
view for packages was set to 'Category') until 'Uninstall'
was displayed for 'All' and for all sub-categories.
When I clicked the 'Next' button, setup displays a window
with the following text:
Warning! Unmet Dependencies Found
The following packages are required but have not been selected.
Package: bash
Required by: _update-info-dir
Package: cygwin
Required by: gcc4-runtime, libproj0, Numeric, _update-info-dir
Package: python
Required by: Numeric
Package: texinfo
Required by: _update-info-dir
Should not 'setup' be uninstalling '_update-info-dir' and the other
packages listed?
When I removed the check from the check-box labeled:
"Install these packages to meet dependencies (RECOMMENDED)"
and click the 'Next' button, the following warning message is displayed:
WARNING - Required Packages Not Selected
If you continue without correcting the listed conflicts, your Cygwin
installation will not function properly. We strongly recommend
that you let Setup install the listed packages.
Are you sure you want to proceed?
After clicking on 'Yes', setup runs to completion and includes the
text "Installation Status: Uninstalls complete."
