I just tried a second experiment (with a new installation). I chose
base plus perl-Test-Harness. Setup didn't report any problems; it
simply added perl 5.32, and I let it complete the installation. I then
ran setup again, and the Pending view of the Select Packages page showed
perl being upgraded to 5.36 and perl-Test-Harness being uninstalled.
So setup ended up doing the right thing with respect to the obsolete
package, but it needed two passes.
Finally, I reran setup and chose cygport for installation. This went
through without a hitch.
