The same issue unfortunately returned later.  I'm guessing that the "netcat"
package being obsolete may have not caused any issues and I was just jumping to
conclusions.

I tried using a new cygwin mirror (xmission) and now the install is working
cleanly again.  Only thing I can think at this point is that the previous mirror
I was using had some corrupted files from the latest rsync (it had worked fine
previously).  I wish there was some way to tell from the log output which files
had issues.

Here are some excerpts from the log file, maybe this will help narrow down the
root cause:

Many get_url_to_file calls and "Downloaded" messages.  No errors that I can see
in this section
get_url_to_file
http://mirror.com/mirrors/Cygwin//release/xz/xz-5.0.2_20110517-1.tar.bz2

Then I see a general download error, no filename mentioned
2012/10/30 05:33:02 download error in unattended_mode: 3 retries remaining.

Downloading the compressed setup.ini

Comparing package signatures?
package a2ps comparing versions 4.14-1 and 4.14-1, result was 0
package a2ps comparing versions 4.13-1 and 4.13-1, result was 0
package aalib comparing versions 1.4rc5-10 and 1.4rc5-10, result was 0
package aalib comparing versions 1.4rc5-3 and 1.4rc5-3, result was 0
package aalib-devel comparing versions 1.4rc5-10 and 1.4rc5-10, result was 0


These last three sections are repeated until the retries are exhausted (4
total).  For the life of me, I can't see any error indicating exactly what
failed.  Is there any way to turn on extra verbosity when running setup.exe?

Best regards,

Sam
