It means Norton's heuristics jump the gun about Cygwin's setup.  I
encountered this quite a few times in the past before I stopped using
Norton.

You have to go into Norton's settings and whitelist it as a trusted application.

Just installed irssi 0.8.17-1 update on 32-bit installation and it
works as expected.  Have not yet upgraded to most recent
version of cygwin, though.

Norton is ultra paranoid.  When I used to use Norton 360,
it would treat mintty's executable as a virus and helpfully
remove it for me.  Something about their heuristics treats
anything that can execute actions that lands outside of
their known files as a virus.

Cheers,

 It was solved with just restarting the computer.

 The Windows motto: when in doubt, reboot

 FYI, it may be that you just hit a mintty session that had a particularly
 fork-unfriendly address space layout. The fact that there were cygwin dlls
 lower than 0x40 is especially suspicious. If it happens again, opening a
 new mintty window, from the shortcut, might work just as well as rebooting
 did.

 You should not move /usr/sbin files to /bin.  You should use
 /usr/sbin/BINARY or add /usr/sbin to the PATH variable.  You'll get
 confused when an update seemingly replaces /usr/sbin/BINARY but you're
 still using /bin/BINARY which is now older than /usr/sbin/BINARY.

hdparm 6.9-1 will not function as expected

2012-10-03 Thread Sean Murphy 
Hello all,

Decided to check out hdparm today after reading about the utility.

After install, I attempted to run the utility by executing a check on my
computer's hard drive and received a message from bash stating that
the hdparm command could not be found.  Can anyone else confirm
this behavior?

I have attached the requisite cygcheck output file for review.

Thank you,

BurnAware ( a free disc writing utility) attempts to do the same sort

After spending some time with this over the rest of the weekend, I
came to the same conclusions.

I don't want to be a pain, so I think I'll let the irssi maintainer
get to it at their own pace.  I will, however,
attempt to install 5.10 in parallel as you suggest. I'd rather have
the updated version of perl, as I've just
installed mosh, and mosh will not operate with the older perl package.

Thank you much,
