Setup reinstall incomplete script does nothing

Setup reinstall incomplete script does nothing

[Brian Inglis]

Hi folks,

Using previously posted reinstall incomplete packages script as a number of my 
packages are now flagged Incomplete.
The script now seems to do nothing to any package as setup comes up with a blank 
list of packages.
Also tried a number of variations including shell script invocations, and adding 
options.
Are there any missing or identical package conditions, options required, cmd, 
shell script, or setup program arg limits that might affect a remove/install?

The package list used for ...\setup-X86_64 -x ... -P ... is:
alacarte,antiword,bash,cron,ctags,dbus,debianutils,e2fsprogs,email,f22-backgrounds-extras,fbpanel,flaw,GeoIP-database,getent,gnu-free-fonts,gnupg,htmldoc,icon-naming-utils,initscripts,libcaca-devel,libcrypt-devel,liberation-fonts,libiconv-devel,libnspr-devel,libnss-devel,libopts-devel,libpng-devel,libpng16-devel,libproj12,mksh,perl_manpages,poppler,postfix,postfix-tools,procmail,python27,recode,sendmail,statgrab,sysvinit,tcp_wrappers,usbredir,usbutils,vim-clang-format,wodim,xml2po,zsh

-- 
Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis			Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Frowny face.

Yes, it looks like we've broken that.  In fact, it seems like -x doesn't 
work anymore.

If you could bisect old versions of setup [1] and tell us when it broke, 
that would be very helpful.
