Can you clarify a bit about the problem that this patch solves?  And
how you tested that it fixes it?

Hi Jon,

I reported the "problem" in March, here:

    https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-03/msg00425.html
     - Package choosing algorithm ...

However, in a nutshell the story is as follows:

I install from "Local Directory" (i.e. not directly from a mirror; neither do
I operate a local mirror).

At that point in time I had installed a TEST version of the cygwin pkg. Then Corinna launched another TEST version of that package. After downloading that new version, I also removed the CURRENT version of that pkg (yes, nobody does
that, except me).

... in order not to create any confusion, I might clarify:

... I removed the current version of the pkg in my repository (disk) -- removed
the tarball, not the pkg from the system (Cygwin).

Regards,
Henri
