Sorry to take so long to reply. I got involved on other things and
forgot that I had even asked the question here until someone emailed
me and asked if I had solved it.

And I did try rootkit revealer before I posted the original message.

I had show hidden and system files on. It turns out what I had to do
was turn off "Hide protected operating system files". When I turned
that off it showed up and I could delete it. That probably also
explains why setup couldn't delete it. I'm not sure where this
extraneous version came from. The date on it was just a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the help. Your suggestion put me on the right path.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygport-0.2.2-1

[Yaakov S (Cygwin Ports)]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

The following package has been updated in the Cygwin net release:

*** cygport-0.2.2-1

cygport is a new way to create Cygwin packages.  More information is
contained in the README, and a tutorial at the URL below.

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-05/msg00017.html

You only need cygport if you're a package developer or building
(upcoming) cygport-based Cygwin packages from source.

This version of cygport includes many new features, as well as internal
changes.  If you must upgrade while in middle of building a cygport
package, do the following (after stopping cygport!):

$ mkdir foo-1.2.3-1/origsrc
$ mv foo-1.2.3-1/src/foo-1.2.3-orig foo-1.2.3-1/origsrc/foo-1.2.3

Please see ChangeLog and NEWS for a full list of changes.

The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

*** libpcre0-6.6-1

The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression
pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl, with just
a few differences.  The current implementation of PCRE (release 6.x)
corresponds approximately with Perl 5.8, including support for UTF-8

Bad Link in Cygwin Mirrors Page

[L Anderson]

On the Cygwin mirrors page "http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html";, under 
"North America: Palo Alto", the link locations are as follows:


ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/

The ftp and http links both work but the rsync link gives a rsync error 
because "sources.redhat.com" has been changed to "sourceware".  Changing 
the rsync link to either of:


rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
or
rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/

works as does changing them all to:

ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/
http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/
rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/

Regards,

L Anderson

Maybe that's why he skipped town. ;-)

From my perspective, the current functionality can be likened to a version of
tar that only implements the "t" option flag.  I suppose it's in the eye of
the beholder as to whether dselect's limited functionality has some value but
I would posit that it's confusing to have the current functionality called
"dselect", since that implies more than this implementation is.

Well I have now confirmed it.
The code that builds the full commandline adds "the n:th arg" and a
space to a buffer then loops around until all args are used up. It
should kill the last space.
and to restrict matches you have to add a -x for exact match.
so your command is (for pgrep) 'sleep 1h ' and 'sleep 1h' should match
but 'sleep 1h  ' shouldnt. and when asking for exact match only 'sleep
1h ' fits

P.S. I think never versions on linux might have this bug to.

Sure sounds like a bug, unless 'grep "foo"' is no longer supposed to 
match the line "foo "... 'man pgrep' isn't very specific on how the 
pattern matching is supposed to work, so I would assume partial matches 
are expected to work (as they would in grep).


Interestingly enough, on my computer (cygwin 1-5-19.4, procps 3.2.6-1), 
I see the following:


$ sleep 1h&
[1] 2136
$ pgrep -f 'sleep 1h'
2136
$ pgrep -f 'sleep 1h '
2136
$ pgrep -f 'sleep 1h  '
$

(Same results using ""s instead of ''s.)
This also seems wrong; 'sleep 1h ' should not have matched anything IMO. 
It does seem like there is something fishy going on.

At least linux doesn't want the extra space:

€ sleep 1h &
€ pgrep -x -f "sleep 1h"
6974
7422
€ pgrep -x -f "sleep 1h "

If you are having this problem on a Dell laptop, then, as Larry Hall
pointed out earlier, a software package from Embassy has been
causing problems.  As far as I know this was first described here:

http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-05/msg00790.html

You should be able to contact either Dell or Embassy for a patch
that fixes this problem.  I have applied the fix on several dual-core
Dell laptops and have not seen the 'scp-timeout' problem since.

XEmacs under Cygwin prevents other applications from starting up.

[Raj]

Hello,

XEmacs under Cygwin seems to interfere with Acrobat reader startup and 
occasionally with Firefox as well.


With XEmacs running, clicking on a link which opens a pdf document, 
prevents Acrobat reader from starting up.  The Acrobat reader splash 
screen shows up but the document window does not open.  If I shut down 
XEmacs, then the acrobat reader window opens up.


Same with putting the system in Standy mode.  The system sometimes does 
not go to standby if XEmacs is running.  The standby operation seems to 
be in a waiting state.   If XEmas is shutdown, the system automatically 
continues with the standby operation.


I am running Window XP Pro + IBM Thinkpad T42 + cygwin 1.5.19-5 + cygwin 
X server 6.8.2.0-4.


Any help would be very appreciated.

thanks for your time,
Raj.

Yep.  Nuked quite a few laptops in the process but got there in the end.

And, presumably you also chiselled out the second CPU from the surrounding
epoxy, too.  Don't forget that crucial step.

This is a "dual core problem" after all...

Just to confirm - removing the Embassy Trust Suite (the s/w that drives the

Any program compiled with Cygwin can be invoked directly outside of bash.
Some may give better results than others, depending on how you set up your
Windows path, whether it's a console app or not, etc.  I'm not a Cygwin GTK
expert but I believe if you compile a GTK app using the GTK package
distributed with Cygwin, you will require X, which means you'll need to be
running the X server before you can successfully start the program.



How could such a program automatically find all required dll's ?



By looking in the PATH.





Is there a DEFINE Available for compilations by cygwin, that is actually beeing
compiled with CYGWIN, instead of normal Unix eg a 
WINDOWS=1 variable ?



Look for telltale defines returned by typing "gcc -v".

RE: cadaver does nothing

[Raye Raskin]

Actually, it turned out to be a missing cygexpat-0.dll -- part of the 
expat package.  Apparently the proper dependency is not in the Cygwin 
installer config file for cadaver. 

Score one point for Microsoft.  I would not have fixed this problem if 
I hadn't tried to run the program in a dos window.  Running cadaver in 
rxvt told me nothing.  In the dos window I got a nice popup telling me 
exactly what the problem was. 

Thanks.

Yes, money is a great motivator but I wouldn't want people to think that
donating $10 with a comment that says "Please fix cron! It won't access
my network drives!" is going to have much effect.

Nevertheless, anyone who expects that they are owed anything just
because software is available to use needs a clue injection.  I'm not
referring to anyone in specific here but it does seem like the recent
climate in this list has been trending towards expectation of service
which does not match the fact that people like Eric are essentially
doing favors for anyone who uses the software they maintain.

I used setup.exe only a night or two before I did the post. I installed
the latest of everything.
dselect is a package installed by the cygwin setup.exe.


I believe what Dave meant was that you cannot update Cygwin using dpkg.

I am unable to use dselect for the inspection of packages in the Debian
distribution.


Eh?  I don't see this in your screen dump.  All it says is that you will
be unable to *install* the packages, only preview the available
selections.  Looks like that's exactly what you want to do as you stated
above.  I also don't see any mention of the root user.

Please let us know what the exact error message was, and why it made you
think you needed root access.

I open a bash shell. I type dselect at the command line. The error comes
up as in the attached screen dump.


I see no error -- only an informational message that no packages can be
installed (but you didn't expect to be able to install Debian packages on
Cygwin anyway, did you?).

Yes.  It is because cygwin is a volunteer project, and I have not had time to 
release tar-1.15.91 yet (yes, upstream has had a new release in the meantime).  
(I have been too busy getting coreutils-5.97, diffstat-1.42 and 1.43, m4-1.4.5, 
and xdelta-1.3.3 released; not to mention I also know that sharutils, 
findutils, and bash-completion all need updates; not to mention that bash-
3.2beta/readline-5.2beta is out, and I would like to play with that; and not to 
mention that bashdb is threatening a new upstream release this week.  About the 
only package I maintain that has not needed attention during the past month is 
cvsutils.)

If I may be permitted to make a hint - the cygwin donations page can be a great 
motivator.  If someone were to be willing to shift my focus via a donation, I 
would be willing to make their highest priority issue become my highest 
priority.  Not that I am hard up on cash (I do have a good day job, after all), 
but that it would be a better indication of where my efforts would be 
appreciated.  And this sentiment probably extends to more cygwin volunteers 
than just me.

Ok.  Unless someone steps forward who is willing to maintain dpkg, it will
be removed from the distribution in a few days.

Cygwin 1.5.20 is out but tar-1.15.90-1 is yet in test section.

Are there special reasons for this to happen?

Thanks a lots Andy for the work-around.

I posted (to the x-cygwin list) the problem some time ago, when I using
the xorg-x11-6.8.99.901-1 package as test. The only workaround I found was
to use netpbm instead.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: diffstat-1.43-1

[Eric Blake]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

A new release of diffstat, 1.43-1, is available, replacing 1.42-2 as
current (1.40-1 remains prev, so that you can still backrev cygwin and use
an older diffstat).

NEWS:
=
This is a new upstream release.  From the CHANGES file, the changes since
1.42 are:

16-Jul-2006
diffstat 1.43

fix to avoid modifying data which is being used by tsearch() for
ordering the binary tree (report by Adrian Bunk).

See also /usr/share/doc/diffstat-1.43/.

DESCRIPTION:

diffstat reads the output of diff and displays a histogram of the
insertions, deletions, and modifications per-file. It is useful for
reviewing large, complex patch files.

UPDATE:
===
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 'diffstat' from
the 'Devel' category.

DOWNLOAD:
=
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, please choose the one nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

QUESTIONS:
==
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

Hi all,

I have found a problem with ImageMagick and a temporary fix.

After a recent update to my Cygwin installation, the convert program
stopped working. It simply exited silently, though I discover with gdb
that it was failing with an unknown exception. It turned out that this
was because of a missing dll, specifically
/usr/X11R6/bin/cygdpstk-1.dll, which also requires
/usr/X11R6/bin/cygdps-1.dll.

...

So, as I said, I don't know whether this could be fixed by you or the
x11 maintainers. Any thoughts?


Just one:  cygwin/x issues should really go to the cygwin-xfree mailing
list.
  
I for one am very glad it has been mentioned on the Cygwin list, as I 
had noticed similar behaviour but not bothered to establish the cause. 
And I would never have thought it was an X-related problem as convert is 
a non-graphical program.



So maybe you should be reading the cygwin-xfree mailing list then.

  

I think it affects GraphicsMagick also.



It is, without a doubt, a cygwin/x issue.  So please no more whining here.
  
Who's whining? I just posted a work-around to a Cygwin-related problem. 
In case you're unaware, this is not an X-Windows tool, it is a 
command-line tool so this is the natural mailing list for discussing it. 
The fact that it uses some functionality from X libraries doesn't change 
it's command-line nature


As I see it, it's not for me to say where the problem is. It could be 
that ImageMagick does not need to have a dependency on this DLL, in 
which case it is a problem for the maintainer of ImageMagick. Of course 
it could be that the X people have inadvertently missed out the DLL from 
the latest release, in which case it would *then* be an XFree problem. 
How am I to know which package is the faulty one? .


Posting this report here with a work-around that fixes it gives those 
who use ImageMagick an insight into the problem as the response from 
Mark shows. If the post was useful, it was relevant.

As Brian said in a separate thread:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg00632.html

Just to repeat. If you trying to update cygwin, please use setup.exe, 
the only supported mechanism for doing so.


If you are looking for a mechanism to do updates via the command line, 
there isn't a tool do this. However setup.exe can be fooled into doing 
this (please Google), and there are attempts to make setup.exe more 
useful from the command line.


There are a few package managers from Linux distributions available 
(dselect and rpm are the ones I can think of). As far as I know these 
are only present for two reasons:

- to allow inspection of packages for these distributions
- to help investigations of the feasability of other packaging methods 
for cygwin.


None of them are currently capable of maintaining a cygwin installation.

Also, you will note that dpkg was last updated in 2002 and IIRC is 
looking for a maintainer (or may be culled at any time).


If you still want help with dselect, I suggest you describe exactly what 
you are trying to do with it, and the steps you take which lead to the 
problem. It will them become clear whether or not that behaviour is 
expected to work or not.
