Re: Setup problem: incomplete nonexistent package
Here's an executive summary: it's a mystery. It just started working. In slightly more detail, rsync from another site did replace the TeXmacs package. But re-running setup still failed on TeXmacs. Our local mirror is shared via Samba (v 2.2something). Some hours later, with no extra rsyncs (in fact, after no actions of any kind except running the check script), setup.exe worked. I've appended the md5 check script anyway. Should there be an md5.sum file for setup.exe, setup.bz2 and setup.ini?

Google for upset script site:cygwin.com. HTH, Igor Thanks, I'll have a look - if I can figure out how to install Cygwin again! The mirror site we are currently using, and which I used last night for the direct attempt, was kernel.org. (I didn't know that I'd chosen the same site that our SysAdmin rsync to make our mirror, when I chose it!) Setup.exe says it's version 2.427. Our mirror is 2.06GB (2,220,822,916 bytes), 2,739 files, 491 folders. Sept 3rd 2004. I'll try another reboot and see if that helps. No joy. We also synced to another mirror and it didn't help.

Setup problem: incomplete nonexistent package
We have a local cygwin mirror (of kernels.org). Recently, setup fails with the e have a local cygwin mirror (of kernels.org). Recently, setup fails with the error that the package ssmtp-2.60.9-2 is incomplete. But we don't have that package in our mirror, and I don't have that package installed, as far as I can tell.

Before you do that, if you Use IE5 Settings in setup, turn off caching in IE (or, rather, make it check the cached version every time you access a file -- note: this is *not* the default!). Um, I went ahead and scrubbed Cygwin completely already. (In fact, my attempt to install direct from the internet failed; I'd chosen Direct Connection, not Use IE5 Settings. Normally we use our mirror, in which case we choose Use proxy settings, and point it to the port and proxy server to access our mirror on the LAN. SO I don't think IE5 comes into it?) Unfortunately, the install direct from the internet (as opposed to our mirror) failed in the same way, though a different package, as you can see above (_update-info-dir-00227-1). I also could not remove the C:\cygwin directory and a few files under it (var/log/sshd.log, I think), and nor could I take ownership. In fact no one could delete that except by running checkdisk to schedule a file system check for the NTFS C: partition, and rebooting. After that, I was able to delete c:\cygwin via Windows Explorer (though WE crashed immediately after. Sigh.) I tried again installing from our mirror, and it failed with an incomplete download message on TeXmacs-1.0.3.3-1. I chose not to try again, and then setup terminated with a runtime exception (as it always does in that situation: Runtime exception ... This application has requested that the Runtime terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.).
