Not at all, bug reports are valuable.

Interestingly, I don't get an error, but I did observe weird behaviour.

The problem was caused by a broken upload of the new esound version. The 
subpackages were missing - in there place, there were foo-src.tar.bz2 files 
(which shouldn't have existed anyway, the subpackages are external-sourced 
to the main esound package), which contained the text of a 404 page.

I've transferred correct copies from cygwin-ports.sourceforge.net. Things 
should be back to normal once the setup.ini cronjob re-runs, and the mirrors 
re-sync.

ATTN: Whoever uploaded this: I think you may have a broken script (or a 
momentary lapse of concentration)

Max.
