I finally determined to track it down. I'll spare you the details, but I found that the file /etc/setup /bash.lst.gz was corrupted. Using Windows Explorer, I could open the .gz file, but I got an error opening the contained the .lst file contained therein. I deleted /etc/setup/bash.lst.gz and was able to upgrade bash successfully. Maybe this will work for you. --- indeed it worked for me too. ...@Nens-LT-41:~/Bureaublad$ tar tvzf /etc/setup/bash.lst.gz gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors ...@Nens-LT-41:~/Bureaublad$ rm !$ rm /etc/setup/bash.lst.gz after this I could run Setup.exe without problems. thanks, Mario -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
