Unfortunately, calm currently has a defect where the person who
requested vaulting doesn't get informed about the success/failure of the
action.
In this case, tidy-20090325-1 couldn't be removed, because the
libtidy0_99_0 it provides is depended on by versions of other packages:
abiword-plugins, klinkstatus, konquerer, and php-tidy.
I should probably remove all of those as well, but I don't have the time
to explore the dependency chains of that, right now...
RELEASEDIR => '/sourceware/ftp/anonftp/pub/cygwin/x86_64/release'

I hope it will solve the problem and your manual intervention will not
be required. Otherwise you know what I did :-(
Unfortunately, 'memory hole'-ing 20090325-1 doesn't work as desired,
because 20090325 is greater than 5, so setup doesn't see any need to
upgrade that where it is already installed.
That's why I added the epoch number ('1:'), the last time you updated
this package (March 2021).
(I still haven't got around to adding direct support for that in
cygport, which means this all requires tedious manual mucking about...)
Anyhow, all sorted now.
