Subject: Setup 2.358 Hangs During Post-Install Script

X-UCL-MailScanner: Found to be clean

I've been trying to update my cygwin packages since yesterday
afternoon, and have found that setup.exe repeatably gets to 99%
complete, then hangs.  On one occasion, the hang lasted for over 18
hours.

Setup claims to be trying to run a script called
/etc/postinstall/XFree86-bin-icons.sh, which is a symlink to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh.

After cancelling setup, I can still run Cygwin and XFree86 (phew.)

Any ideas, please?
