Hi!
I just downloaded and started Setup.exe (version 2.708).
I have already Cygwin installed, I wnated just to update to newest state.
So I clicked Next, until I got to the package selection.
Before I used then to click the View button, to get a list of packages
that would be updated.
But today with this version, I have a View named "Pending" that has a
lot of packages listed (about 100).
The Current column is empty for all of them.
I am confused.
I expected a few packages liste, with existing Current version and
newer version listed under the New column.
What am I missing?
Regards,
David

"Pending" is the old "Partial" view. It's been renamed.

I don't think too much. I ran setup.exe 2.708 and setup.exe 2.697.
The same pages in each showed the same thing. Although my list of
updates was smaller, not all the packages listed had a current field.
My list contained new dependencies for the packages being updated.
If there really are no packages listed with a "Current" version, I'd
say you're experiencing the result of setup.ini being updated with
previously missing packages for packages you have already installed.

I started it again, and now the Pending view is empty.
The first time it had arj as the first package. I doubt anything depends on arj.
The first time I also tried different mirrors. With same result (lot
of packages in Pending).
Now I again tried 2 different mirrors and both show no packages Pending.
I did not install anything on the first occasion, I canceled the Setup.
I'm even more confused now...
Regards,
David

Ah, problem solved! ;-)

Package dependencies aren't alphabetically ordered.

Yeah, I can't explain what you saw and now all that's left is the story
of the smoking gun. Well, I guess we'll hear about this again if it's
more than a passing issue.

Note that the tooltip still shows "Partial" instead of "Pending" when mousing over the View button.
