Hi. I'm running a fresh install of cygwin on Windows 2000, and having installed the base packages, I run setup again so that I can install the wget package. When I select the wget package inside the setup application, the openssl package also gets selected for install, but I think this is misleading because the version of the openssl package that is automatically selected for install is 0.9.7b-3, which does _not_ provide one of the requisite dlls that wget needs to work (wget seems to need cygcrypto.dll, while the closest thing that the openssl-0.9.7b-3 package provides is cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll).
I realize that I can manually deselect the openssl package (version 0.9.7b-3) once setup has automatically selected it for me, and then add the openssl096 package, but I think this is making people jump through hoops just to get cygwin up and working. Would it not, in fact, be easier just to remove _all_ automatic dependency checking, and get people to work their own dependencies out by hand (at least then they would _not_ be led to believe that openssl-0.9.7-b3 is a prerequisite for wget, as the setup application suggests)? I've attached the output of cygcheck -s. Please let me know if you need any more information. Thanks, Jaime
