Hi, I just found an unfortunate side-effect of the move of the Cygwin 1.7 release area. If you use the new setup.exe for Cygwin 1.7 on a mirror which hasn't catched up with the update yet, you are in danger to overwrite your 1.7 installation with a Cygwin 1.5.25-based installation. Be *VERY* careful to check the packages setup tries to update. If you see that it tries to "update" your Cygwin from 1.7.0-68 to 1.5.25-15, then CANCEL setup.exe IMMEDIATELY and try another mirror. Hopefully this negative side-effect has been rectified by the mirror updates within the next 24 hours.
