I've just investigated an anomaly with the base-passwd package, 
which turns out to be an incorrect setup.hint file in the repository.

repository base-passwd directories contain

    base-passwd-2.0-1.tar.bz2   30-Nov-2003 07:16     1k
    base-passwd-2.1-1.tar.bz2   21-Aug-2004 11:48     1k
    md5.sum                               21-Aug-2004 13:54     1k
    setup.hint                              16-Jul-2004 02:11       1k

but the setup.hint file contains

sdesc: "A script to set up initial passwords and groups"
requires: cygwin ash
category: base
test: 2.0-1
curr: 1.1-1

Is 2.0-1 curr and 2.1-1 test, or is 2.0-1 prev and 2.1-1 curr?

Regards,
Doug Wyatt
