Setup still shows coreutils 9.1 as test, but it should *NOT* be
installed by anyone.
Setup now also shows coreutils 9.0 in test, and it can and should be
installed by anyone who experienced issues with coreutils 9.1.
I ran coreutils 9.0 for a couple of weeks in my installs before
releasing it for testing, and am still running it now, with no apparent
issues.
As coreutils is a Base package, in Setup, select View Up To Date, Search
for coreutils, New column shows Keep, select the combo box dropdown
menu, which shows selections:
Uninstall
Skip [greyed out]
8.26-2
✔ Keep [checked]
Reinstall
9.0-1 (Test)
9.1-1 (Test)
you can select 9.0 which will install the suggested test release when
Setup is run.
*NO* Cygwin processes can be running when Setup is running, to ensure
programs can be replaced without restarting Windows or rerunning Setup.

The installed version of coreutils is 8.32-1.
I see coreutils-9.0-1.tar.gz referenced in setup.ini, but
coreutils-9.0-1.tar.gz is not downloaded to disk.
Setup.exe's version is 2.919, 64 bit.
Whenever I update Cygwin, I first "Download without installing", then,
run setup again and install from disk.
I select View / All, choose Install, then expand All and set "Debug"
to Default to save disk space.
After all new files are downloaded, I run setup and install from disk.
This morning, coreutils-9.0-1 was not installed as again, it was not
downloaded to disk,as mentioned above.
More suggestions are appreciated.
I'd like to test coreutils but cannot find the docs for how to
install a test version.
Sorry, but I don't see anything in setup.exe that would
facilitate installing a test version, seems I recall that test
versions were available to install via setup.
Yes, in setup select the package, and open the drop down to select
which version.
You may need to change the view to Full, if you already have it
installed.
