I wonder if those obsoleted packages are confusing setup. In a new

don't see it.
Yeah, there's something weird going on there:
Just adding just perl 5.36 to base seems to work fine.
Adding cygport, pulls in automake-{12,13,14}, which depend on perl-Carp
or perl-Test-Harness. I'm not sure why the solver then goes on to choose
those packages, rather than perl_base which obsoletes them.
Could we work around the problem by removing the dependency of the
obsolete packages on perl5_032?
