Look at the DJGPP_MK package (and some others) two [-9] errors on first attempt, one on second attempt, and two on third attempt. Also, some like the ARJ error. Reading it this is what happened: Installed fine, Removed Fine. Installed error [-9] with arjdisp.exe. Second attempt, Installed fine removed fine installed fine.
