Uncheck the box labelled "Hide obsolete and administrative packages"

I think the real problem is that BOTH cygipc-2 and kde-cygwin are 
dead.  It appears that sometime last fall KDE-cygwin was abandoned in 
favor of a native port of KDE using the xming X-server. So, you've got 
a dead project depending on a dead package.


Expect trouble.

Workaround. If you connect thru a X-Server to a remote Linux machine 
thru a LAN which has KDE installed there is a easy workaround which I 
use since more than 1 1/2 years. Run the KDE on the remote computer. It 
even works over the Internet with a fast connection. Saves a lot of 
memory in the windoze system and with esd you have even sound etc.

We've been using 1.5.5 for a good long while now and
have had cause to upgrade. Everything apart from service
interact with desktop is working. I've dug as much as I
can but found nothing. The pervious working version was
1.5.5 and the new version 1.5.19. I've attached cygcheck
for both.

Originally I thought it must be something related to
cygrunsvr but even replacing that with the version from
1.5.5 makes no difference so it must be something more
core that I'm missing.

I think I had a similar problem before with 1.5.5 which
got round by using a services which started cmd first see
example below.

The overall objective is to run a perl script on the desktop
that doesn't log to file just displays its output in a normal
console.

I've tried the following combinations:

cygrunsrv -I test \
  -j -i -d "CYGWIN test" \
  -p /tmp/test.pl \
  -e "CYGWIN=ntsec" \
  -e "BASH_ENV=~/.bashrc"

**used to work in 1.5.5**
cygrunsrv -I test \
  -j -i -d "CYGWIN test" \
  -p `cygpath $COMSPEC` \
  -a "/c bash -c /tmp/test.pl" \
  -e "CYGWIN=ntsec" \
  -e "BASH_ENV=~/.bashrc"

N.B. -j doesn't seem to have any affect and wasn't used in 1.5.5

Any ideas what might be causing this or how to fix it?

That's a bug in XWin.  It just has not been present before due to a bug
in newlib which has been fixed just a couple of days before.

FWIW, the bug is apparently fixed in xorg-x11 version 6.8.99.901-1,
which is available as test version using setup.

Maybe we should make 6.8.99.901-1 the "current" version now?  Is it
stable enough for that?
