FWIW, here's what happens when you circumvent mingw-get's installation procedure, and then subsequently try a mingw-get upgrade: > upgrade: binutils-2.31.1-1-mingw32-bin.tar.xz > removing release binutils-2.28-1-mingw32-bin.tar.xz > installing binutils-2.31.1-1-mingw32-bin.tar.xz > mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** > c:\mingw\sandbox\/mingw32/lib/ldscripts/i386pe.xe: extraction failed > mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** > c:\mingw\sandbox\/mingw32/lib/ldscripts/i386pe.xe: probable package > conflict; existing file not overwritten In this case, the error is fairly benign; it can be resolved by manually deleting the conflicting file, then running (from the CLI): $ mingw-get install --reinstall binutils-bin but, in more extreme cases, it can become extremely painful to resolve such conflicts. -- Regards, Keith.
