Subject: "mbox note: Can't open file://L:\ods\rtoy\Cygnus/ for reading:  	Unrecognisable file format" errors whilst executing setup.exe

Both at work and home I install Cygwin on several machines and I keep
a local cache of the Cygwin install files to reduce the time to
update.

I always run setup.exe and perform a full install of everything.

Since upgrading to the latest version of setup, when performing the
local install from the local cache I get apparently random warning
boxes with the following error text: -

Can't open file://L:\ods\rtoy\Cygnus/ for reading: Unrecognisable file format.

The boxes (51 occurences) can be simply clicked away and the install completes.

Once complete a check of the installation (cygcheck -cv) shows that it
is complete (all OK)

The same error occurs in both the work (Windows XP) and home (Windows
7) environments.  In both cases the local cache is accessed through a
mapped network drive.

Here is a chunck of setup.log.full from C:\cygwin\var\log
