Correct. It is supposed to be used on the seldom case that a specific new package is not working > For example, if I select a previous version of 'xorg-server', I would > expect that all packages that have a dependency on that to also be > downgraded (in this example, perhaps 'xorg-server-common' and > 'xorg-server-extra'). But this does not seem to be the case. To much expectation. It is not the case. The list of packages built with the same source is mentioned here: https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/xorg-server-src.html Setup is NOT looking at this information. > Is there a way > to automatically do this (for X11, in my use case) ?
