Something went wrong to my Cygwin installation update (update is
performed by removing everything and installing again the new
version). The home directory of my user was not created, when you
run
Cygwin for the first time.
When I start Cygwin it defaults to the evil C:\Windows\System32!?!?
-bash-4.4$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32
-bash-4.4$ cd
-bash: cd: /home/kavalpa: No such file or directory -bash-4.4$ How
this can be fixed in proper way, without causing any permission issues.
By figuring out what went wrong during setup.
Please respond attaching /var/log/setup.log.full and terminal or
console log if possible.
Otherwise just run setup-x86/_64 [-g] to upgrade without wiping
everything to avoid such problems.
The log is attached. I couldn't see any error except for the libgpg-error0 package that
matches the "error" search term :)
The home directory is created afterwards anyway at the first Cygwin execution,
if it does not exist. Are you sure it is an installation error? I would rather
avoid re-installing and fix the issue by creating the conditions and force
Cygwin to create the home directory.
[Hi Brian, I apologise for this personal e-mail. I have tried to send it twice
to the list to no avail. It's not HTML and it does not appear to list's mail
archive either. I have no idea what is going wrong.]

All postinstall steps failed because of BLODA or installation path:
2021/02/09 17:48:06 running: C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\dash.exe
"/etc/postinstall/0p_000_autorebase.dash"
0 [main] dash (2296) shared_info::initialize: size of shared memory
region changed from 49080 to 40888
2021/02/09 17:48:20 abnormal exit: exit code=-1073741819
...
Installing under Program\ Files causes issues because of space in path names and
BLODA-like AV protections on those paths.
