Due to propagation delays, between the OSDN upload server and the download mirrors, I can't round-trip test as quickly as I might like, and even though I identified this issue -- a discrepancy between package issue number in the mingw-get catalogue, and the only actual package available for download -- as quickly as I possibly could, there would still have been a further propagation delay window, after I'd uploaded the correction, for you to observe the same failure as I did initially. > I removed my c:\mingw directory and reinstalled and the > problem went away. A quicker solution would have been to simply install the missing isl-dll package, after the corrected catalogue had been propagated, (as it must have been anyway); that would have saved the bandwidth, (and time), for downloading *everything* again, (since blowing away the entire c:/mingw tree would, presumably, also blow away the locally stored tarballs -- from c:/mingw/var/cache/mingw-get/packages). -- Regards, Keith.
