Hello,

using the new setup 1.43 (from the Tennessee mirror) I tried an Internet setup. The setup could download all files, but the installation failed for 3 files from 3 different packages with error messages like:

Installing gcc-2.95.2-1.tar.gz
/tmp/cygwin/cygnet/tar.exe: usr/info/gcc.info-2: Could not create file: Permission denied
/tmp/cygwin/cygnet/tar.exe: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Unable to reset protection on 'c:\cygnus\cygwin-v1.1\usr\info\gcc.info-2' - No such file or directory

So I re-run the internet setup, since I expected the setup would detect the already downloaded versions, but all files were downloaded via ftp again (successfuly)! And again the setup failed for 3 *different* files from 3 *different* packages extracting the files!

Since the download was both times succesful, I started the setup again to do a local installation - and it failed again for 2 *different* files of 2 *different* packages. So in all installations the extraction failed with different packages and files every time ... ! As nasty side-effect the files that failed the extraction are missing after setup completion althouth they were present before.

However, a fourth try with a local setup succeeded !?!

Has someone else encountered these weird extraction failures?

Regards,
Jörg
