I made a new installation of Cygwin 64 on a new USB stick, including the package xinit. (I use setup -P followed by a longish but far from complete list of required packages ..,..,xinit,..,..) At this first use of setup I got a single error message: Package: _/xinit xinit.sh exit code 3 At 2nd and all subsequent uses of setup (i.e. as update) I get the slightly altered error message: Package: _/Unknown package xinit.sh exit code 3 In practice, any usage of xinit (e.g. to launch xterm) seems to work perfectly well, but the repeated error message at any update transaction (including when empty) is disconcerting.
