Re: baffling cygwin setup.exe behavior

So, as far as I can see,
the only way to get rcs 5.8.2-1 is to globally select "Curr"
and *don't click on rcs at all*.
So, to upgrade rcs and nothing else,
I'd have to globally select "Curr"
and manually change every package *except* rcs
to "Keep", leaving rcs alone.
That seemed like a lot of work and error prone,
and I knew I was going to be doing all this several times,
and who knows whether I'd run into other problems on the way.
So instead, I elected to upgrade
my entire system to "Curr", even though
that's not really what I wanted.

If anyone can explain what's going on here
(is this a bug? or something wrong with my thinking?)
and how to do this simple operation,
I'd really appreciate it.

I'm not sure why you cannot get back to 5.8.2-1.  I can but I
don't have 'rcs' installed so my cycle just goes from Skip->
5.8.2-1->5.8.1-1->Skip->....

I guess if all else fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling
'rcs'.
