Well, I was, finally (after comparing to my install script that has been working for about a decade now, with the only difference that package selection is made by category). That's a very interesting bug: switch the order of the -l and -R options and everything works as intended. That'll be fun to find in the source. > Are you saying that absolutely nothing gets installed? This tends to > suggest that the installer is failing due to a fatal error before it > gets that far. Run the above with the --verbose switch on and you'll see that setup fails to recognize the setup.ini file and consequently decides that the packages it should install (and recognizes correctly as far as I can tell from the output) are not installable.
