The output of the two commands you asked for= are: > dir \etc\setup\installed.db=20 03/03/2018 20:33 2,499 installed.db $ wc /etc/setup/installed.db 70 209 2499 /etc/setup/installed.db If I grep for one of the additional packages that I selected prior to downl= oad, e.g. "bc" from the Math category, it is not listed in the installed.db file. A directory for bc is present in the download directory, and it contains the file bc-1.06.95-2.tar.xz. Do you know if the ability to detect all available downloaded packages was intentionally removed from setup, or might this be a bug?
