I tried to perform a clean Cygwin installation and encountered a problem with package versions.
Steps ----- 1. Download setup.exe. 2. Run it. 3. At "Cygwin Net Release Setup Program", click next. 3. Choose "Install From Internet". Click next. 4. Pick a root directory. Click next. 5. Pick a local package directory. Click next. 6. Pick a internet connection suitable for you (I had to choose "system proxy"). Click next. 7. Pick a download site. Click next (I tried http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp and http://mirrors.kernel.org). 8. Let setup download setup.ini. 9. On the "Select Packages" screen, pick bsdtar. Click next. (There is nothing special about bsdtar; you can pick any packages that have liblz4_1 as dependency; see below). 10. On the "Review and Confirm changes" screen, notice there are some automatically pulled packages. One of them is "liblz4_1", at version "131-1". However, the current version is "1.7.5-1". You can see by going back to the previous screen and click on the "liblz4_1" package. Is there some reason that the setup program downloaded a previous version instead the current one for liblz4_1? Thanks for helping.
