I have built a custom mirror site of cygwin - based upon the well-known mirrors, and updated today - Dec. 15, 2003. It is a subset of the full mirror and I am experiencing severe problems getting setup.exe to finish successfully. I can get the packages all downloaded by simply telling it to install 'All' packages. When it comes to installing cygwin, it always fails around 98% finished. The error popup displays: 'The dynamic link library cygiconv-2.dll could not be found in the specified path ...' The path is extensive, and looks to be OK compared to successfull cygwin installations.
Everything I have read in the mailing lists points to some dependency that I did not include in my mirror. However, I did not get any installation complaints during the setup process. My questions are: 1. What package contains cygiconv-2.dll? How do I determine that? 2. Is there some checking that can be done on the server side to trace dependencies?
