Something is wrong in setup.ini? [mingw64-i686]

Setup.exe has updates (4.5.3 ==> 4.7.3) for mingw64-i686-gcc-core but not for other language (fortran, g++ etc.). Beside this, it wants install mingw64-i686-gcc-debuginfo.. Usually *debuginfo packages are optional not mandatory.. Or not? Ciao, Angelo. -- Problem reports: http://cygwi

I had my recent download fail part-way through a few times. Each time it went back to the "select FTP/HTTP" download host screen. I just noticed that the window heading now says, "221% - Cygwin Setup" (and increasing). I'm guessing that some counter is not being reset when this condition occurs.
