For some time (several months), the setup program always finishes with 
the following message:

> Package: _/cygwin-doc
> 	cygwin-doc.sh exit code 3
> Package: z/Perpetual
> 	zp_texlive_finish.dash exit code 20

Looking into setup.log.full, I find:

Where do the "/C:" parts in the middle of the link names come from?
Investigating, I find that mkshortcut is being called like this:

> /usr/bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n "Cygwin/User Guide (PDF)" -d "Cygwin User 
> Guide PDF" -- /usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc/cygwin-ug-net.pdf
> /usr/bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n "Cygwin/User Guide (HTML)" -d "Cygwin User

> /usr/bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n "Cygwin/API (PDF)" -d "Cygwin API 
> Reference PDF" -- /usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc/cygwin-api.pdf
> /usr/bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n "Cygwin/API (HTML)" -d "Cygwin API 
> Reference HTML" -- /usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc/html/cygwin-api/index.html
> /usr/bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n "Cygwin/Home Page" -d "Cygwin Home Page

> /usr/bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n "Cygwin/FAQ" -d "Cygwin Frequently Asked 
> Questions Link" -a https://cygwin.com/faq.html -- /usr/bin/cygstart

There appears to be a bug in mkshortcut.
Could this be somehow related to my enabling native symbolic links?
(Not sure if this error began before I did that.)
I don't know where to find the source for mkshortcut, and not sure if 
somebody else
knows this program and can look into it. Should I report this somewhere?

The output from zp_texlive_finish.dash is very long,
so I show only the final lines in setup.log.full:

Looking at the source of "fmtutil", it appears that this is the key 
line:
(It's a perl script; shown with line number)

> 462   return $opts{"strict"} ? $err : 0;

where $err appears to count the fonts not converted.
Looking up the first of the "missing" inifiles, eptex.ini,
I find it belongs to the cygwin package
"texlive-collection-langjapanese-20180414-1"

I have no knowledge of Japanese, and most likely no reason to install 
said package.

The perl script also appears to have a mechanism to declare formats 
disabled,
but the configuration file /etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf has the 
following comment:

> # Modified for the Cygwin distribution so that all formats are
> # initially disabled.  The postinstall scripts will enable those
> # corresponding to installed packages.

I suspect that the postinstall script is broken, enabling formats that 
are not installed.
It would take me quite long time to track down how this is implemented 
in the postinstall script.
Who can I report this to?
