Hi, Just curious ...
Normally I do NOT use setup-x86_64.exe to "install" (download) a source code tarball ... I will go directly to the source (i.c. a mirror). This time I decided to use setup (in order to verify a hypothesis) ... As usual I execute this procedure in 2 steps: 1. Download without installing 2. Install from Local Directory (I do not maintain a local mirror) Step 1 presented no problem. I got a surprise when I executed step 2: when I selected the source code tarball, setup informed me ... it was going to install "debuginfo". I was not surprised to see that intention fail ... Only after I had modified setup.ini, where I removed the "source:" line from tar-debuginfo, setup was able to "install" the source code tarball. A mirror (at least the mirror I use) does not have a source-code tarball in a *-debuginfo subdirectory. (to clarify: the "source:" line is present in the "tar" entry as well as in the "tar-debuginfo" entry of setup.ini -- I removed the one from the the "tar-debuginfo" entry). Did I miss anything?
