Greetings!

I had a problem installing "whois".  "whois" was installed but there was 
an error message..

The setup.log.full says:
-----snipped------
2013/05/28 02:17:40 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile 
"/etc/postinstall/cygutils.sh"
/etc/postinstall/cygutils.sh: line 1: /usr/bin/update-desktop-database: 
No such file or directory
/etc/postinstall/cygutils.sh: line 2: /usr/bin/update-mime-database: No 
such file or directory
2013/05/28 02:17:40 abnormal exit: exit code=127
2013/05/28 02:17:40 Changing gid to Administrators
2013/05/28 02:18:13 note: Installation Complete
2013/05/28 02:18:13 Ending cygwin install

limited debug:
1) /etc/postinstall/cygutils.sh   -- file does exist and permissions OK
2) Contents of /etc/postinstall/cygutils.sh:

$ cat cygutils.sh
/usr/bin/update-desktop-database
/usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

3) but
   /usr/bin/update-desktop-database  -- does not exist
   (( there is a 'updatedb', though.)
   and
   /usr/bin/update-mime-database    -- does not exist

other:
  setup.exe version 2.774
  http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.xmission.com%2fcygwin%2f

Thank you !!
Jay
