Since this looks to be some kind of DNS resolving issue for various people, you can try to work around it by changing your DNS server settings to use something like 8.8.8.8 and/or 1.1.1.1, which resolve the names correctly. Or, for someone just trying to get an install done, a simple tweak of your /etc/hosts file to define the domains as having IP 8.43.85.97 will work as a short-term fix. ..wayne.. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: tzcode, tzdata 2020f
The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * tzcode2020f * tzdata2020f The Time Zone Database (often called tz, tzdb, or zoneinfo) contains data that represents the history of local time for many locations around the world, and supports conversion of UTC time to local time at those locations to allow display of those local times. It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by political bodies to daylight saving (summer time) rules, UTC offsets, and time zone boundaries. The tzcode package provides the tzselect, zdump, and zic utilities. For more information, see the project home page: https://www.iana.org/time-zones and for this release, see the announcement or below: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2020-December/64.html Change to build procedure * 'make rearguard_tarballs' no longer generates a bad rearguard.zi, fixing a 2020e bug.
