I'm attempting to remove texlive because it's existence makes it impossible
to completely remove X Windows components. I've manually ensured that all
things dependent on it have been marked for uninstall. It ends up in a
catch 22 style circular, self-reference problem. I don't know what
percentage of cygwinidos use teX stuff, but it MUST be a serious minority.
Could someone come up with a solvent for this teXSuperGlue?
Maybe you have an obsolete package installed that requires texlive. Try
unchecking the "Hide obsolete packages" box.
