Ccing list
There's really no need to cc the list for a package that is not part of
the Cygwin distribution. Taking this up with the owner at the prescribed
site is the recommended course of action.
Jan,
cyg-apt has a problem with upgrading
cygreadline6.dll because the cygwin exe is already
executing/holding onto cygreadline6.dll.
I have already run "cyg-apt update".
Here is the log:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/c/tmp
$ ./cygapt upgrade

This is expected on Windows given that cyg-apt uses Cygwin's
Python. Simply put, whatever DLLs and other files that are
necessary to run apt-get will not be upgradeable with the
normal cyg-apt mechanism. There's no good way around this.
