I changed the DEP setting but in trying to reinstall the original
upgraded installation, it gets into a vicious loop of:

    Package file libgcc1 has a corrupt local copy, please remove and retry.
        And
    Package file libssp0 has a corrupt local copy, please remove and retry.
        And
    Package file libstc++6 has a corrupt local copy, please remove and
    retry.


I seem to be able to fix one at a time but not all.  Still trying.

...

Ok, I finally got it all to reinstall but the installation is still
broken.  Same problems.  Failed postinstalls, "Bad address" errors and
no bash login shell.

Anyone have any thoughts as to how to fix this installation?  The
fallback of course is to wipe Cygwin off and do a complete new
installation but I'm trying to avoid that if possible with all the
configs I've made.


Regards,
Gerry
