Thanks Larry, but what about the packages that were deleted because they were being updated to the newest version? In other words, - I selected aspell for install - A bunch of other packages were auto-selected for updates. - All packages were downloaded So, after the downloads - the obsolete packages were removed - aspell install started - ... and the crash happened. I have not executed setup yet because I did not want to mess up any history files (if there are any - I did not see anything relevant in /var/logs) Mirko -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I have not executed setup yet because I did not want to mess up any history files (if there are any - I did not see anything relevant in /var/logs) If you pick the 'aspell' package again, it will install it and any of its dependencies. If you're concerned about what Cygwin thinks it has installed and whether those packages are in a consistent state, run 'cygcheck -c' and reinstall any package that doesn't report OK. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

How to evaluate cygwin state after interrupted update - and how to recover/resume?
Hello I was installing a new package (aspell) and the latest updates. After the file download, the obsolete packages were removed. Then the installation step started. During iirc aspell's installation, I got an error prompt from rapapp.exe (c++ error), after which the installation procedure stalled. I canceled the installation (cancel) button after waiting 10-15 minutes. How can I evaluate cygwin's state, and the state of the updates. How do I recover/resume the update? My /var/log directory contains setup.log setup.log.full from early August (when I installed 1.7).
