Hello

I was installing a new package (aspell) and the latest updates.  After
the file download, the obsolete packages were removed.  Then the
installation step started.  During iirc aspell's installation, I got
an error prompt from rapapp.exe (c++ error), after which the
installation procedure stalled.  I canceled the installation (cancel)
button after waiting 10-15 minutes.

How can I evaluate cygwin's state, and the state of the updates.  How
do I recover/resume the update?

My /var/log directory contains setup.log & setup.log.full from early
August (when I installed 1.7).

Thanks,

Mirko
