Subject: plotutils-2.6-4 postinstall error in cygwin 2.5.0

Hello,

While performing a fresh install of cygwin 2.5.0 x86_64 on Windows 7 
64-bit I encountered the following postinstall error for plotutils-2.6-4:

Excerpt from setup.log:
2016/04/17 20:07:07 running: E:\Cygwin64\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile 
"/etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh"
2016/04/17 20:07:09 abnormal exit: exit code=1

Manually re-running the /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh script appears to 
resolve the issue.  However, re-running the script will re-induce the 
failure as demonstrated below.

     $ /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh ; echo $?
     0

     $ /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh ; echo $?
     /usr/share/fonts/misc: failed to write cache
     1

     $ /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh ; echo $?
     0

To ensure it is not re-run again later, I simply did the following until 
the script was renamed to its .done form:
     $ /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh && mv /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh 
/etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh.done
     /usr/share/fonts/misc: failed to write cache

     $ /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh && mv /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh 
/etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh.done

While this is a work-around, I thought it was worth reporting with the 
hope that it would be resolved during the setup phase in the future.

Best regards,
Ken
