Achim,
Thanks, I added -M:
setup-x86.exe -B -c KDE -M -n -q -v
Wed 08/30/2017 13:35:26.69 c:\users\keith>Starting cygwin install,

and got quite a bit of output like this:
package 4ti2-debuginfo comparing versions 1.6.7-2 and 1.6.7-1, result was 1
package a2ps comparing versions 4.14-3 and 4.14-3, result was 0
package a2ps-debuginfo comparing versions 4.14-3 and 4.14-3, result was 0
package aalib comparing versions 1.4rc5-13 and 1.4rc5-12, result was 1
What is the meaning of "result was 0" and "result was 1" above?
then, another listing similar to this:
Found category KDE in package akonadi
Deleted manual package akonadi
Found category KDE in package amor
Deleted manual package amor
Found category KDE in package artikulate
Deleted manual package artikulate
Found category KDE in package automoc4
Deleted manual package automoc4
Found category KDE in package baloo
Deleted manual package baloo
What does the above mean?
Are these Perl packages set for removal because they are used by KDE?
package perl comparing versions 5.22.4-1 and 5.22.1-2, result was 1
package perl-Algorithm-Diff comparing versions 1.1903-2 and
1.1903-2, result was 0
package perl-Alien-wxWidgets comparing versions 0.67-2 and 0.67-1,
result was 1
package perl-Archive-Zip comparing versions 1.59-1 and 1.56-1, result was 1
package perl-Authen-SASL comparing versions 2.16-2 and 2.16-2, result was 0
package perl-Authen-SASL-XS comparing versions 1.00-1 and 1.00-1,
result was 0
package perl-Authen-SASL-XS-debuginfo comparing versions 1.00-1
and 1.00-1, result was 0
package perl-autovivification comparing versions 0.17-1 and
0.16-1, result was 1
package perl-autovivification-debuginfo comparing versions 0.17-1
and 0.16-1, result was 1
Finally, I got the setup GUI dialog with a lot of packages that are
set to Uninstall. I probably won't uninstall until I hear back from
you. There are a lot of KDE packages listed, and I want to remove
them, but I am interested in answers to my questions first.
Thank you.
Keith
