I'm only looking for the 1.7 dependencies since they are more important due to fstab (and here especially the /usr/bin and /usr/lib mounts) created by base-cygwin. Here's the problem: There *are* circular dependencies we can't get rid of. base-cygwin must run first but requires a shell. Those circular dependency problem exists practically in all distros, not only in Cygwin. The general idea is that a distro has some sort of base installation, a set of packages which *must* be installed for the distro to install correctly. In Cygwin, that's what the Base category is for. What we just have to do is to make sure that the dependencies of all packages in the Base category make sense.
