Turns out that the (fresh) installation of Cygwin on this machine which
has exactly the same package selection was hosed up by a different
package installation order: Some time ago the GnuPG2 package was
changed to replace /usr/bin/gpg (and gpg2 is now a symlink to that), but
of course the old gpg package installs it's own executable in exactly
the same place. Guess which package was installed last… :-)
Further, the reason it attempts to install both versions is that wget
(and wget2) pull in libgpgme11, which in turn wants gnupg. Given that
gnupg v1 is dead as a dodo on Cygwin that doesn't look right…
gpgme is ORPHANED with no maintainer - CCing and RT apps
I had the impression to have properly declared
NAME="gnupg2"
VERSION=2.4.7
RELEASE=1
OBSOLETES="gnupg"
and so setup.ini has
@ gnupg2
sdesc: "GNU tool for secure communication and data storage"
...
obsoletes: gnupg
so what went wrong ?
Maybe because gpgme has not been updated to repoint to gnupg2... so some
gnupg... libraries are still required?
Or do you need to upload a dummy gnupg package?
Would you care to add gpgme to your many gnupg responsibilities and update it as
part of the gnupg2 suite?
I notice your GPA package is also dated?
Fedora also has problems:
