Hi all,

Updating cygwin two days ago revealed two problems with cywings setup.exe

1) corrupted /etc/setup/<PKG>.lst.gz 

setup tries to read the file and stops. The error message in the logfile
did not mention the filename. Deleting the broken file solved the problem

2) insufficent file permissions 

A folder had 0700 permission for my user account and installing as admin
user hang when setup tried to write a file to that folder. It printed 
log messages continously and ate up all memory.

bye
	ago
