Dear Cygwin Community, Since I recently reinstalled Cygwin from Win7 to a clean Win10 machine, I have not been able to get around setup complaining about the following postinstall script error:
Package: z/Perpetual zp_shared-mime-info.sh exit code 1 The given package, "z/Perpetual", is misleading as the referenced shell script is in package shared-mime-info. https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=zp_shared-mime-info.sh&arch=x86_64 I am running setup "as administrator". Checking setup.log.full, I see: 2017/09/28 13:22:16 running: C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/zp_shared-mime-info.sh" I/O error : Permission denied I/O error : Permission denied Failed to write XML file; For permission problems, try rerunning as root 2017/09/28 13:22:26 abnormal exit: exit code=1 2017/09/28 13:22:26 Changing gid to Administrators 2017/09/28 13:22:34 note: Installation Complete 2017/09/28 13:22:34 Ending cygwin install It doesn't give me the pathname of the XML file, so don't know where to look for permissions issues, not that I understand Windows permissions anyway. Don't know how to rerun "as root". (As I said, I'm running "as administrator".) I checked BLODA and, indeed, we are running McAfee here, and I have no say in that matter. Still, I had no BLODA problems with Win7, so wondering if there's some Win10 thing that can resolve this. https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda The other curious thing is that the shared-mime-info package is categorized under X11, which I'm not using, but if I uninstall it, setup complains that it is required by libglib2.0_0. --Ken Nellis -- 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
