It does ... unless some network glitch causes the package download to fail, (in which case, there would have been an error reported). If this does happen, (as it does, occasionally), then: $ mingw-get install --reinstall mingw32-libiconv-dll (in this case) should be sufficient to rectify the problem, (and similarly, with substitution of the appropriate package name, for any other package which is not downloaded successfully). > I don't think the dependency was installed.

I do that, routinely, when publishing catalogue updates. Nonetheless, I just repeated the exercise; libiconv-2.dll is *definitely* installed as a dependency of the mingw-base package collection, following an error-free install into an initially empty c:/mingw/sandbox: $ rm -rf c:/mingw/sandbox/* $ mingw-get-setup.exe & which initially installs mingw-get itself, selecting c:/mingw/sandbox as installation directory, then runs the just-installed mingw-get.exe, from which I selected and applied changes for the mingw-base package collection only, then: $ mount --repl c:/mingw/sandbox /mingw $ ls -l /mingw/bin/libiconv*.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 ... 1408750 Sep 1 2013 /mingw/bin/libiconv-2.dll $ gcc --version gcc.exe (GCC) 5.3.0 Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
