This note reports my problem in updating cygwin January 5, 2010.   I 
chose to update cygwin because  of problems
with spawning   Xterm windows  from a remote  login to our main 
computer.   I can run some CAD sW  ( Cadence ) and not others  "nedit" 
remotely.   Window appears but when a the focus is on the new Xterm 
window and I enter any kb letter the   window disappears.  In any 
event   the  problem I am currently reporing concerns updating cygwin.

 Please find:    Problem description and attempts to solve it,   
Setup.log.full  and excerpts  setup.log for
      12/22/09  successful first  install and 
      1/5/10  unsuccessful install.  
                                - Thanks  Mitch Newcomer
