but what about the packages that were deleted because they were being updated to the newest version? In other words, - I selected aspell for install - A bunch of other packages were auto-selected for updates. - All packages were downloaded So, after the downloads - the obsolete packages were removed - aspell install started - ... and the crash happened. I have not executed setup yet because I did not want to mess up any history files (if there are any - I did not see anything relevant in /var/logs) Mirko -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
