Hang on. Of course base-cygwin requires bash *and* coreutils since it calls cat, mkdir and rm. The setup.hint file of base-cygwin has a requires: bash coreutils line. That's a recursion. Won't the order in which the postinstall files are running be pure coincidence? Shouldn't the requires line be removed in base-cygwin to get this working reliably?!? Geeh, I'm getting headaches.
