Thanks Jon,

Thought that was the reason, but could not see an approach: I'll mark your post 
to remember this.
So should I touch or echo > PVR.ARCH/dist/override.hint, or 
PVR.ARCH/CYGWIN-PATCHES/override.hint, or should I include it in SRC_URI+=" 
override.hint"?

I believe I released some dependencies as test then rebuilt and rereleased this 
as test, which did not seem to trigger the warning, until I untest-ed the test 
release, to promote it, right before upload-ing release 2.

I also did this test promotion then upload with some other library dependencies.

I also noticed that libpsl had some upgraded dependencies, so quickly rebuilt 
and rereleased that as release 2 to pull in the new gexttext and unistring.

Hopefully that means that curl and git updates will now be clean installs, with 
all recent library dependency updates, and a good final state for x86 freeze.

Early yesterday I also untest-ed your previous dialog, tack, and ncurses NMUs 
which were still in test, to pick those up in the readline I untest-ed, so those 
could be picked up in the new releases.

I also threw in the latest publicsuffix-list update so it lands on x86, as one 
would be due soon anyway.

I will monitor apps and cygwin as much as possible this weekend in case any 
glitches appear.
Only issue may be updates split across slow mirror updates, an issue I often 
have with GNU ftp-mirror especially asc's and sig's.

I'm glad public-inbox is now available with feeds so I can bookmark them on my 
mobile.

Hope we all have a good and quiet weekend now. Cheers!

The 'replace-versions' information is kept in the override.hint file [1]

[1] https://cygwin.com/packaging-hint-files.html#override.hint

For future reference, you can upload them as any other file (so, in this 
case, you could have removed or uploaded an empty file in their place).

In this case, since I added them, I have removed those override.hint 
files for you.

Not sure, but this probably indicates a calm bug of some sort.

For reasons, the solver won't replace a version marked to distupgrade 
(by replace-versions:) if it's also available to install.  This warning 
is meant to alert on that situation.

If I didn't remove the 7.86.0-1 packages when I added this override to 
withdraw it [2], I think this should have been alerting all along.
