Greetings, Under chicken 3.4.0, I have noticed that I can make chicken-setup enter into an infinite loop by telling it to fetch, but not install the http egg. I posit that the cause is a circular dependency somewhere among http's many dependencies, because eggs like rss with simpler dependencies do not loop.
Here is an error log from MacOS X 10.5, but I have observed this behavior under 64-bit linux as well. --underspecified $ chicken-setup -V chicken-setup - Version 3.4.0 - macosx-unix-gnu-x86 [ manyargs dload ptables applyhook ] SVN rev. 11987 compiled 2009-03-26 on #####.naist.jp (Darwin) $ chicken-setup -f http chicken-setup -f http File http.egg or http.setup not found in the download directory.
