I think it's now fixed and sorry for the trouble. The signature check has been changed to not complain about a missing signature file when installing from a local directory for the moment. This may be changed again if and when the "download only" mode gets smart enough to actually download the signature and ini file from the mirror. The other bug was showing up only for multi-mirror hierarchies (with any number of mirror directories present, including a single one). In this situation setup would fail to verify the packages (unless you switched that verification off with "-m") and hence you wouldn't be able to install any new packages. Until a new version makes it's way to the official site, you can try the bugfixed setup.exe I've compiled locally: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- wget="wget -rxnH --cut-dirs=1 http://cygwin.stromeko.net";; $wget/x86/setup-x86.exe $wget/x86_64/setup-x86_64.exe sha512sum setup*.exe --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- fa35136f7dd3beec303f5690af092a036ef59f180292b9649d9190513a3d15354a0ee805178787a5a59b2b12e1cadd7fcb38cd66aa0a23945d033c2e067ffc69 x86_64/setup-x86_64.exe e878a6ca6959ec1fbc916bde40f5089d12024b6f8d47ce1cd1db8f0d6f3fbaa152d640eb5bc664dae561199a919e7d9d927c5bef6ddbd494e5b64669af824270 x86/setup-x86.exe Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ Wavetables for the Waldorf Blofeld: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#BlofeldUserWavetables -- 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
