Huh. I wonder why that happened. I would expect setup.exe to just overwrite one file, resulting in the change being reflected in the linked copy. I'm no longer familiar enough with setup's internals to say for sure if that is what happening but it does appear that the file is being deleted. That behavior could probably be changed with an appropriate PTC. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
