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creates the possibility of pathname collisions with future packages) Normally, where a package has been replaced or superseded by another package, it is updated with an empty, obsolete version, which depends on it's replacement, so existing installs are updated to that.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... > -------- Forwarded Message -------- > Subject: calm: cygwin package upload report from sourceware.org for > Marco Atzeri > Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2016 20:42:02 -0700 (PDT) > From: cygwin-no-reply@cygwin.com > To: marco.atzeri@gmail.com > > INFO: package 'libMagickC++6_5' appears to be source-only as it has no > install tarfiles, adding 'skip:' hint > ERROR: package 'libMagickC++6_5' doesn't have any versions > INFO: package 'libMagickCore6' appears to be source-only as it has no > install tarfiles, adding 'skip:' hint > ERROR: package 'libMagickCore6' doesn't have any versions > ERROR: error while validating merged x86_64 packages for Marco Atzeri
