I was able to move around the needed directories by myself.

"calm" is not complaining anymore

Ok, glad you got that sorted.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

You should be aware that the relarea contents are only re-read by calm 
at 00:10 UTC and every four hours thereafter.

(At the moment, it's only possible for cygwin-admin to request that scan 
happen sooner. It's on my backlog [1] to fix that.)

Hi,

Sorry about the inconvenience.

The problem that calm is complaining about here is that removing the 
last version of these packages will leave the package with no versions 
(since you want to remove the package entirely).

While historically permitted by uspet, removing a package doesn't make 
much sense, currently.

setup doesn't do anything about installed packages which have 
disappeared from setup.ini, so the files a removed package contains will 
linger indefinitely in any existing installs (which also creates the 
possibility of pathname collisions with future packages)

Normally, where a package has been replaced or superseded by another 
package, it is updated with an empty, obsolete version, which depends on 
it's replacement, so existing installs are updated to that.

But that's not usually appropriate for an old soversion of a shared 
library (even though it has no users left in the distro, there may be 
3rd party packages or local builds which depend on the old soversion), 
so it should be kept.

I'd appreciate your help in understanding if either of those cases 
applies to these packages, or if something else is needed here...

tried also that.

Leaving 6.9.0.0-4 libs as they are but calm also complains
that the package "libMagickCore6" and "libMagickC++6_5" are incomplete.
So I can not update ImageMagick at all.

All the files are in the stage area now, I just avoided to put
the "!ready" tag.

currently nothing on cygwin depends on

libMagickC++6_5
libMagickCore6

They were obsoleted ~ 1 year ago

Hmm... I don't see an attempt to do that.  Perhaps things were confused 
by some of the remove tokens remaining?

Ok.  I adjusted things to keep the old soversion and set !ready and this 
seems to have moved the right things to the right places.

Note that there does seem to be a difference between these libraries, 
and between x86 and x86_64:

x86
libMagicCore6   6.9.1.3-3  empty, obsoleted by libMagickCore6_2
libMagicC++6_5  6.9.0.0-4

x86_64
libMagicCore6   6.9.0.0-4  empty, obsoleted by libMagickCore6_2
libMagicC++6_5  6.9.0.0-4

I guess we need a better way to deal with these things.
