Unfortunately, calm currently has a defect where the person who 
requested vaulting doesn't get informed about the success/failure of the 
action.

In this case, tidy-20090325-1 couldn't be removed, because the 
libtidy0_99_0 it provides is depended on by versions of other packages: 
abiword-plugins, klinkstatus, konquerer, and php-tidy.

I should probably remove all of those as well, but I don't have the time 
to explore the dependency chains of that, right now...

Unfortunately, 'memory hole'-ing 20090325-1 doesn't work as desired, 
because 20090325 is greater than 5, so setup doesn't see any need to 
upgrade that where it is already installed.

That's why I added the epoch number ('1:'), the last time you updated 
this package (March 2021).

(I still haven't got around to adding direct support for that in 
cygport, which means this all requires tedious manual mucking about...)

Anyhow, all sorted now.
