unused libraries in basic install


Hi!

In the standard install cygwin-setup installs libraries which no program in the basic install needs:

libncurses5
libncurses6
libreadline4

for all of them newer versions exist, and are in the standard install. Why install older versions by default (if there is a dependency, cygwin-setup would solve it)? Why not put the older versions from base to libs?

I think base install means shell plus essential tools, plus all dependencies (libraries).

Also by default
gdbm
libgdbm
libgdbm-devel
libgdbm3
libgdbm4
are being installed. Is gdbm really an essential tool? Why 2 library versions? Why a devel-package in the standard install?


And is there really a need for dependency of the standard install of 3 different versions of libintl? (libintl1 libintl2 libintl3)

Robert.
