There's no setup.hint for the aspell-en package (which, I assume, will
depend on aspell). BTW, beware of circular dependences -- if both aspell
and aspell-en have postinstall scripts, and the one in aspell-en uses
aspell, it might be run before aspell's postinstall script runs, so aspell
may be in an inconsistent state. I don't think this is a problem, but the
maintainers should both be aware of this and coordinate the postinstall
scripts.
BTW, I don't have time to look now, but if setup's topological sort
traverses loops alphabetically, the above may be a red herring anyway
(i.e., aspell will always execute before aspell-en in that case).

Gareth, do you have a problem with that?
I have no problem with either of the above 2 points in theory... both the
rename and the marking of aspell-dev as test. (and adding dependency on
aspell-en - from other email)
In practice there is one niggle, the src package generates
aspell-0.50.3-1.tar.bz2 already - but it's the amalgam of all of the other
binary packages. It produces aspell-bin. Fixing this will probably only
take me a couple of minutes (when I get the time say in a couple of days) -
but I don't think that it should be a show stopper for uploading the rest
now.
Renaming the file and changing the hint files are trivial - I'm assuming you
don't need me to upload them again? If you do want me to do them then I'll
do it whenever I see the reply which will be ... after I sleep probably.

X11, Tcl and Tk for Windows
I am looking for Tcl/Tk v8.0 and a compatible version of Xlib, for a port of an application developed originally for a Unix platform. The application is a based transport simulator, and is written in C++ . The Tcl/Tk is there to provide the GUI, including a window within which X11 calls provide real-time graphics display of the behaviour of simulated objects (eg real-time movement of vehicles across a map). At first sight Cygwin appears to provide what I need: a. Include files for tcl and tk in usr/include and for X in X11R6/include/X11. b. The X11 library at usr\X11R6\lib\libX11.a ... And the Tcl/Tk libraries tcl80.lib and tk80.lib But when I link with the libraries mentioned in (b), the following sequence of code leads to failure in the X software. For brevity this code omits checks on call results, which are OK up to the last line. _pint = Tcl_CreateInterp(); Tcl_Init (_pint); _tk_mainwin = Tk_MainWindow (_pint); _pdisp= Tk_Display (_tk_mainwin); int idc = DefaultColormap (_pdisp, 0); // Failure here, or in subsequent call to XParseColor () I have also tried linking with libraries tcl84.lib , tk84.lib from the Tcl/Tk distribution at http://www.tcl.tk/software/ includes .. but in that case I get a failure in the call to Tcl_Init. I would appreciate advice on how to obtain a workable collection of the software libraries, or on some other way of overcoming these difficulties. Mark Horn
IPC/SHM is now supported by default in xoncygwin HEAD CVS tree
I just checked in changes to the MIT-SHM (xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/shm.c) and XFree86Bigfont (xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/xf86bigfont.c) extensions that disable SHM support when the Cygwin IPC daemon is not running. This allows IPC/SHM support to be enabled by default in Cygwin/XFree86. I tried to define the functionality of an OS-specific SHM support check as best I could, which resulted in adding a new function called OsVendorShmCheck (). This new OsVendorShmCheck function is called from shm.c and xf86bigfont.c when DDXOSSHMCHECK is defined. This system was designed to work like DDXOSVERRORF and OsVendorVErrorF (), for example. I believe that the generalization of the functionality should greatly increase the chances of it being included in the XFree86 CVS tree. I will be submitting patches to XFree86 as soon as they commit my other waiting patches. There will be a new Server Test Series release sometime tomorrow that includes this new functionality. Harold
Re: X11, Tcl and Tk for Windows
Mark, int idc = DefaultColormap (_pdisp, 0); // Failure here, or in subsequent call to XParseColor () Do these two calls indicate that you are trying to use a PseudoColor (e.g. 8 bit palletized color) visual? If so, then you need to be running Windows in 8 bit color mode or you can run in fullscreen mode with 8 bit color. This later one would be done via (XWin.exe -fullscreen -depth 8). PseudoColor is not supported when the underlying display is not a pallete-based display. Please correct me if I am totally off base.

I remember that it is important to call Tcl_FindExecutable(), especially on Windows. There have been significant changes in Tcl/Tk from 8.0 to 8.1 (most importantly the switch to Unicode), so using a more recent version may complicate matters. You may instead want to use the version 8.0.5 from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894. That page has source as well as native Windows Tcl versions. The native Windows version of Tk has some X11 emulation built-in for it's own use, so you may want to try to use that first. If that X11 emulation isn't enough for you, you can compile your own 8.0 Cygwin Tcl/Tk and run that under Cygwin-XFree86, there is no reason that that couldn't work. benny
Tight loop in Xwin startup under Win2k
I'm using Windows 2000 on a Dell C-600 laptop. After upgrading from 1.3 to 1.5 I've stared having my X startup go into a tight loop. This loop is so tight that I can not get the attention of the task manager or really do anything else except power-cycle the system. I've tried running a Cygwin bash shell w/o X and can not get any response out of that either. I can exit Xwin, but whatever is looping keep running. I'm using a derivative of the .xinitrc that I use on Linux and BSD which starts fvwm2 a xterms with tcshs and an emacs and a bunch of programs to figure out what to start and where. I've pretty much disabled starting of any remote programs. Anyone have any ideas here? Thanks. Jeff -- Jeffrey C.

[RFC] lesstif Xft/freetype/fontconfig
Should I enable the anti-aliased font capability in the next Cygwin 1.5.x/Xfree86 4.3.x build of lesstif (0.43.91-1)? The feature is now enabled by default in the vanilla lesstif sources when the proper libraries are found by configure. But, AFAIK, the feature is still considered experimental. My other concern is the additional link time dependencies this will add. (Obviously, we would need to add additional setup.hint dependencies too.) libtool enabled applications should just get it right via the libXm.la file, but non libtool aware applications might break at compile time if their configure scripts or the like are not smart enough. Since Xm is a static library, previously compiled apps would be unaffected. For reference: Current Cygwin 1.3.22/Xfree 4.2.x libXm.la (0.93.41): # Libraries that this one depends upon. dependency_libs=' -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE -lXt -lXp -lXext -lX11' Possible new Cygwin 1.5.x/Xfree 4.3.x libXm.la (0.93.91): # Libraries that this one depends upon. dependency_libs=' -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE -lXt -lXp -lXext -lX11 -lfreetype -lXft -lXrender -lfontconfig' Also, I'm not quite sure how: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-09/msg00317.html would effect this. As a side note, is there any reason to enable Motif 1.2 and 2.0 compatible libraries too? Right now, we only build the Motif 2.1 version. Thanks for the input.

Updated on sourceware: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-11
The XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-11 package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution. Changes: 1) General - Add runtime detection for the Cygwin IPC Daemon. This allows SHM (shared memory) support when the IPC Daemon is running. SHM support is automatically disabled, with no adverse effect, when the IPC Daemon is not running. There is now a dependency on the cygipc package, but no additional installation steps are required, unless you want SHM support; in which case you need to run ipc-daemon2 (See the cygipc documentation for more details). (Ralf Habacker, Harold L Hunt II) -- Harold Hunt To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'XFree86-xserv' from the 'XFree86' category. You may need to click the Full button if it doesn't show up. Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update.

Odd XDMCP problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Here is an odd one for you to try to help me figure out. I have configured my RedHat Linux 9.0 system to allow XDCMP connections. When I reboot the server the console comes up with the default kdm login box. ~From my win2k machine I have installed all of the cygwin Xfree tools. I used the startxdmcp.bat file (after editing it for the remote_address parameter) and it successfully connects to the linux box and I see the login dialog box. So far so good. Initally when I would log in the cygwin screen would turn light blue and then after 5 seconds or so the login box would reappear and a message about my session lasting less than 10 seconds. I found on the linux machine where I was logging in the following in the .xsession-errors file: set: unable to open display :0.0 xsetroot: unable to open display ':0.0' xrdb: Connection refused xrdb: Can't open display ':0.0' startkde: Starting up... ksplash: cannot connect to X server :0.0 _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root kded: cannot connect to X server :0.0 kdeinit: Can't connect to the X Server. kdeinit: Might not terminate at end of session. kcminit: cannot connect to X server :0.0 knotify: cannot connect to X server :0.0 ksmserver: cannot connect to X server :0.0 startkde: Shutting down... startkde: Running shutdown scripts... KLauncher: Exiting on signal 1 startkde: Done. I then edited the /etc/kde/kdm/Xstartup file on the linux machine and added a line that said 'xhost +' and restart the X server on the linux machine. Now when I use startxdmcp.bat file I enter my user/pass and get the light blue screen on the cygwin side. However, nothing else shows up on the cygwin side. Oddly though, on the linux console I see that I am logged into kde as the user I entered on the cygwin side. Once I log out of kde from the linux console the cygwin xfree session displays the login dialog box again. For some odd reason my DISPLAY from the xdmcp session seems incorrect. It should set DISPLAY to point back to the cygwin xfree server instead of the linux console.

Re: Odd XDMCP problems
Mike, Mike Campbell wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Here is an odd one for you to try to help me figure out. I have configured my RedHat Linux 9.0 system to allow XDCMP connections. When I reboot the server the console comes up with the default kdm login box. ~From my win2k machine I have installed all of the cygwin Xfree tools. I used the startxdmcp.bat file (after editing it for the remote_address parameter) and it successfully connects to the linux box and I see the login dialog box. So far so good. Initally when I would log in the cygwin screen would turn light blue and then after 5 seconds or so the login box would reappear and a message about my session lasting less than 10 seconds. I found on the linux machine where I was logging in the following in the .xsession-errors file: set: unable to open display :0.0 xsetroot: unable to open display ':0.0' xrdb: Connection refused xrdb: Can't open display ':0.0' startkde: Starting up... ksplash: cannot connect to X server :0.0 _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root kded: cannot connect to X server :0.0 kdeinit: Can't connect to the X Server. kdeinit: Might not terminate at end of session. kcminit: cannot connect to X server :0.0 knotify: cannot connect to X server :0.0 ksmserver: cannot connect to X server :0.0 startkde: Shutting down... startkde: Running shutdown scripts... KLauncher: Exiting on signal 1 startkde: Done. Looks like you might need the -from MY_IP_ADDRESS command-line parameter in startxdmcp.bat for XWin.exe. Although, this doesn't make a lot of sense because you probably wouldn't even get the login screen if the from address wasn't being set correctly. I then edited the /etc/kde/kdm/Xstartup file on the linux machine and added a line that said 'xhost +' and restart the X server on the linux machine. The xhost + is not the answer. Please remove that line or accept the security risks that it has, even though it is providing you with no benefit. I think the real problem here is that XDM on your linux machine is not setting the DISPLAY variable correctly. The output from the log file shows this: xsetroot: unable to open display ':0.0' :0.0 means to connect to the local machine on display 0, screen 0. That is typically the console. This is obviously incorrect, since you need all X Clients to connect to the X Server running on your Windows machine. For some odd reason my DISPLAY from the xdmcp session seems incorrect. It should set DISPLAY to point back to the cygwin xfree server instead of the linux console. How do I fix this??? I have never, ever, heard of anyone reporting this problem before where the DISPLAY is not getting set correctly by the XDM server (again, unless you just need the -from parameter as mentioned above). Can we assume that this RedHat 9.0 installation is 100% non-modified or have people had their hands on it, customizing it? If the installation has been heavily customized, then I think that someone made a mistake in one of those customizations. If the installation has not been heavily customized, then perhaps you could do some searching to find out if this a generic problem for RedHat 9.0. Hey, I have an idea... why don't you try opening an XDMCP session to your RedHat 9.0 machine from another *nix machine. That would help determine if Cygwin/XFree86 or the RedHat machine configuration is at fault. Harold

AW: AW: Enabling SHM support in default build of XWin.exe
Hi Charles, ... if linked to the static ipc-library. Using the cygipc dll results in an additional runtime dependency, which will produce windows runtime linking errors if the cygipc package isn't installed, which will produce more support noise dealing with this issue. Using the static library avoids this problem. I think that you *should* use the DLL. And add cygipc to the setup.hint requires: of XFree86. Not because I think that everyone should or will 'turn on' the daemon, but because: you can't use libtool to make a DLL that has static dependencies (without heroic effort). Now, I know that XFree86 does not use libtool, but maybe I want to build gtk or something that (a) does, and (b) links to XFree86 libs. Since, in this scenario, the XFree86 libs will have a link time dependency on libcygipc.a -- I won't be able to build a DLL version of gtk (without heroic effort). What's the support issue you're worried about, Ralf? One more requires: library? When Harold is busy spinning out expat, fontconfig, and freetype -- what's one more? I forgot that the standard cygwin libtool has this limitation (I`m living on the kde [=older libtool release] side of libtool which uses a pass_all lib filter and you're right that it is easier to maintain one package (cygipc) as to recompile every package which is linked to the static cygipc lib on every new cygipc release. Thanks for pointing this out. ;-) Ralf
AW: IPC/SHM is now supported by default in xoncygwin HEAD CVS tree
Hi Harold, I just checked in changes to the MIT-SHM (xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/shm.c) and XFree86Bigfont (xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/xf86bigfont.c) extensions that disable SHM support when the Cygwin IPC daemon is not running. This allows IPC/SHM support to be enabled by default in Cygwin/XFree86. I tried to define the functionality of an OS-specific SHM support check as best I could, which resulted in adding a new function called OsVendorShmCheck (). This new OsVendorShmCheck function is called from shm.c and xf86bigfont.c when DDXOSSHMCHECK is defined. This system was designed to work like DDXOSVERRORF and OsVendorVErrorF (), for example. this is obviously the right way, I have seen the related patches for ...BSD, but doesn't know who to deal with. Thanks for this efforts. There will be a new Server Test Series release sometime tomorrow that includes this new functionality. I assume that the current xlib releases are linked without shm support ? Then the new features of the Xwin Test server will only be usable if at least the X11 and Xext libs are compiled with shm support. Ralf

I used the latest available MinGw version now again (just the objc subdirectory) and it builds without problems. I did a diff on the two directories and they are different. Probably your gcc/objc-parse.y and gcc/objc-parse.c were not updated recently? Now I wonder if it is broken for you because of this or don't you build it anyway because it is broken elswhere?

However, now having tested two different installations and I know one for sure was installed using UNIX mode the crash still occurs. Additionally release D (previous) worked without problems on on the one of the installations. When I upgraded to E on one of the installations the crashes started happening. Could somebody please tell me what is going on?

CONT: Problem with IMAP
Seeing that the old version worked and the new version did not, I rolled back to the old version of IMAP. lo and behold, it seems to get the same errors. However, I rolled back to version d-2. However, when compiling from d1 I get the same error. Now I am beginning to wonder, could it be that cygwin.dll did something different that is affecting UW-IMAP? I certainly do not know...

Copying an executable from network drive without .exe extension f ails.
Friends, -- Now there's the start of a spam mail if ever I saw one ;) I've searched archives and found a couple of potentially related messages, but none I've found seem to quite match the behaviour I'm seeing. This appears to be new behaviour in ?1.5.x? that worked as I expected it to when still on a 1.3.x version (sorry, can't remember which it was, and don't have that machine in work today to check). I have a script which is going through a list of file names and testing they exist before copying them. If the file doesn't exist, the script appends ..exe onto the end of the name and tests again (not sure if this is needed for cygwin, but certainly is for MKS Toolkit). echo program ../bins.lst $P_WINDOWS='//dev2k/d/dev/product/bin' cat ../bins.lst | while read file do if [ -f $P_WINDOWS/$file ] then cp $P_WINDOWS/$file WIN/ else if [ -f $P_WINDOWS/$file.exe ] then cp $P_WINDOWS/$file.exe WIN/ else echo H:$P_WINDOWS/$file doesn't exist WIN.res fi fi done I am actually running the script while I've cd'd onto a network share, so both source and destination drives are on the network, but two separate machines. At the time the above script is executed, the destination directory does exist and is empty. The source directory does exist and does contain an .exe version of the 'program'. The error produced is as follows... cp: `//dev2k/d/dev/product/bin/program' and `WIN/program' are the same file To get around the problem, I've checked for the .exe version first and then the non .exe version, but I thought it should be reported.

Problems with Squid
Hello all, I'd would like to build and run Squid on a cygwin box. I made my first tests a few weeks ago and could compile and run Squid 2.5 STABLE3 with the cygwin1.dll 1.3.20 on a NT machine. I also have an icap patch on squid source tree. I recently upgraded my cygwin and then recover a new version of cygwin.dll (1.5.4). In the same time, I recompiled Squid and it doesn't work anymore: building is OK, but when I want to lunch it, I've this error message: C:\squid\sbinsquid -N FATAL: setrlimit: RLIMIT_NOFILE: (24) Too many open files Squid Cache (Version 2.5.STABLE3-CVS): Terminated abnormally.

My cygwin1.dll is in the sbin directory. I recovered an old cygwin distro with 1.3.20 from another machine, build again squid, and it works.

Re: SSHD, Cygwin and Windows 2003 : continued with user rights
Hi All... Quite a while ago (12 to 18 months?) before Cygwin OpenSSH could impersonate a user, there was some experimental activity in OpenSSH to allow multiple authentication methods. There was a patch to add this on the OpenSSH archives. I experimented with this to require public key followed by password authentication. This got me the security of a public key authentication and also got me a password to change user ID. When Cygwin added the impersonate user ability, I dropped this activity. ...Karl From: Olivier ALLART [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Cygwin List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SSHD, Cygwin and Windows 2003 : continued with user rights Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 01:22:48 +0200 Larry Hall wrote: Hm, I thought I was clear. Let me try again addressing iisreset specifically. iisreset doesn't work in the scenario you described because it's a Microsoft tool which knows nothing of the Cygwin environment. Cygwin's ssh using pubkey authentication doesn't authenticate the user with Windows. So if you need certain credentials to perform some operation in Windows, pubkey authentication won't provide them. Ok. I tought ssh offered some mechanism trough cygwin to authenticate as if under windows .. That means the 'administrator' account via ssh pubkey is not 'administrator' then .. If you need to run iisreset through ssh, you will need to use password authentication, which takes the password for the user 'administrator' and authenticates for Windows with it. You should then be able to use iisreset (if authentication is really the only thing getting in the way with pubkey). yes it is, since it is working with ssh connection (using password on login) when sshd runs under 'local system' I don't know what are the *some commands* you're speaking of, but if they are Cygwin utilities, then I think the answer is obvious. If they are not Cygwin utilities, then I would have to say that they don't require special privileges to run. This is actually true for most utilities. But if this is still confusing for you, you'll have to provide specifics. However, I think you'll find that it's likely that anything that works for you in ssh using pubkey authentication falls into one of the two groups of utilities I mentioned. and you are probably right. other commands are for example 'wlbs' (or nlb). My problem is : I want to execute some remote (but encrypted) commands using both wlbs and iisreset. wlbs works fine from remote, but so is not for IISreset. I thought authentication using ssh and public key would allow me to perform the iisreset command.. But from what you explained; it is clear that whatever user logs in with pubkey, it won't be considered as 'administrator' It looks like iisreset can only be performed *locally* by *local administrator*, which is dumb in the situation where you are from remote. Only other remote control would be 'telnet' but hey, ms telnet can't pertform remote commands. Last question; if I provided a pubkey in the 'administrator' (cygwin) environment, who am I for windows ? Thank you very much. Next I guess I'll go look for some tip on how to unlock iisreset so it can be used by whatever admin and not just local ..

(Also confirmed by Felix von Hove) I haven't tried the latest snapshot due to learning curve (in progress). JEff Russell This validates my WAG somewhat. Does strace -o wish.strace bash -c wish84 reproduce the hang? The reason is that, IIRC, strace uses Windows exec mechanisms, rather than Cygwin's, so you need to force Cygwin's exec by running bash first. Also try using a large buffer with strace: strace -b 100 -o wish.strace bash -c wish84 since the large buffer sometimes helps unmask problems which were fixed by the slowdown incurred by running strace. 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/

RE: Tcl/Tk wish shell execution problem under bash
This validates my WAG somewhat. Does strace -o wish.strace bash -c wish84 reproduce the hang? The reason is that, IIRC, strace uses Windows exec mechanisms, rather than Cygwin's, so you need to force Cygwin's exec by running bash first. I get it... strace -o wish.strace -w bash -c /bin/wish84 reproduces the hang (after about 1MB of log file). My (naive) take on the relevant end of the log file seems to show that wish84 is busy searching paths for a file without any interesting error messages. However, about 1/3 through the attached file, _cygwin_istext_for_stdio seems to report an error. The last 100 lines of the strace output are attached.

Re: Utility to dereference Windows shortcuts?
I understand that Windows shortcuts and symlinks are different and the reasons why they are different. However, I want to be able to process files pointed to by Windows shortcuts using Cygwin utilities. In order to be able to do this, I need a utility that will take a Windows shortcut name, xxx.lnk, and return either a Cygwin (preferred) or Windows path to the target of the shortcut. I could then do something like: cyg_utility `shortcut_deref win_shortcut.lnk` Does this utility exist? If not, does anyone have sufficient information on the Windows shortcut structure to allow me to write one? Thanks. Take a look at the source of mkshortcut in the cygutils package. If you do write a readshortcut program, please consider submitting it to Chuck Wilson for inclusion into the cygutils package (as a complement to mkshortcut). Igor FYI, the work on this is all done and submitted (as of a couple weeks ago). readshortcut (part of the cygutils package) is available in the cygutils cvs tree, and will be included in the next cygutils release.

Re: Pine 4.58 Cygwin issue
[ this message was Bcc'd to the pine-info list ] *** Victor Stepanov ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote in the pine-info list today: :) I'm experienced strange behavior of Pine 4.58 under Cygwin environment. :) Some of fields on index screen is missing... Screenshot attached. Also :) message display is not working correct. Any ideas? [ screenshot available at http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/pine/cygwin/PCygPine4.58.gif] Dear Victor, The place to report bugs in cygwing application is the cygwin mailing list (cygwin at cygwin punto com). Version 4.58 is *not* a supported version in cygwin. As you must have noticed, the last release of Pine for cygwin was 4.55 (under the 1.3.X world), not 4.56, not 4.58. That is because during that version of Pine, cygwin was in version 1.3.X. Having said that. None of the supported versions, either, (built under Cygwin 1.5.X) work under Cygwin 1.5.X. Please read http://cygwin.com/problems.html, so that you learn how to report a problem with a cygwin application. I am trying to look into this issue, and I am afraid that I will have to build Pine in a 32bit world rather than upgrade it to the 64bit world, which seems like a lot of work to make (e.g the size of off_t is bigger than the size of unsigned long in the 64bit world. To adapt this to the c-client library is non trivial for me). I do not have a connection to the internet at home still, probably until next week, so I can't make all tests that I want to make yet. I still have to research this issue further. When I have understood all the problems involved I will try to come up with a solution. At this moment I don't understand much of the problem. Given how much stuff is going on in my life today, don't hold your breath for it. Please keep this discussion within the cygwin mailing list. I have Bcc'd my reply to the pine-info list for courtesy. If you are not subscribed to the cygwin mailing list, please us the gateway through gmane (www.gmane.org). You can Cc: me if you want to. If anyone wants to help to build Pine 4.58 for Cygwin 1.5.X, I would appreciate that help. Thanks!

How does setup.exe cleanup?
Hi, I was just wondering, does setup.exe perform any cleaning up of old downloaded packages from the local package cache, and if so how? Also, can I assume that any package file that is on a server will never be changed, or are sometimes packages updated without changing the name?

This does occasionally happen, unfortunately, but screws up pretty much everyone's setup procedure, so is quickly caught and rectified. The one time packages keep the name across updates is when packages are still in the process of being approved (on the cygwin-apps list). However, this shouldn't be of any concern to the general Cygwin community.
