[MinGW-dvlpr] mingw-get issues

[Chris S. <ir0...@gm...>]

Hi Keith,

I found a bug in mingw-get in that if an upgrade fails to download,
mingw-get will still proceed with removing the package.  Running
mingw-get-info I noticed that my w32api was out of date, so I did:

mingw-get update
mingw-get upgrade w32api

for some reason, mingw-get doesn't want to download the file (even
though the direct link works when I copied it to a browser):

mingw-get.exe: *** ERROR *** Get package:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/w32api-3.17-2-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma?download:
download failed
mingw-get.exe: *** ERROR *** Get package:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/w32api-3.17-2-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma?download:
download failed

The upgrade process proceed to remove the '-1' release and failed to
install the '-2' release because it failed to download.

Chris
