Subject: 'setup' fails and breaks pre-existing Cygwin installation.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

On Win2K SP 4 up-to-date, I install most packages (including X and tex) 
and 'setup' hangs with the folllowing message:

    Running . . .

    No package

    /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh


The  progress bar is almost finished at this point (above).

The install has broken my Cygwin shell completely.  It pops up in a 
window and closes fine but shows no text.  The first two times 'setup' 
hung, it crashed my machine.

I did try moving 'post-textmf.sh' to 'post-textmf.sh.done' but no luck.

Thank you in advance!
