After upgrading, when I launch xfig ($ /usr/bin/xfig.exe &) there is 
this error message (in another x-window):

==========================================
The app-defaults file (version: 3.2.4) is older
     than this version of xfig (3.2.5b).
You should install the correct version or you may lose some features.
This may be done with "make install" in the xfig source directory.
==========================================

Ciao,
Angelo.

It looks a postinstall problem:

======================
if [ ! -f /etc/X11/app-defaults/Fig ]
then
     /usr/bin/mkdir -p /etc/X11/app-defaults
     /usr/bin/cp /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/Fig 
/etc/X11/app-defaults/Fig
fi

if [ ! -f /etc/X11/app-defaults/Fig-color ]
then
     /usr/bin/mkdir -p /etc/X11/app-defaults
     /usr/bin/cp /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/Fig-color 
/etc/X11/app-defaults/Fig-color
fi
======================

If I read correctly, if Fig* files exist in '/etc/X11/app-defaults', 
they are not replaced with new.

Indeed, in my system, the Fig* file in 
'/etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults' belong to 3.2.5b, instead those in 
'/etc/X11/app-defaults' belong to 3.2.4!

Ciao,
Angelo.

That's correct. If somebody has changed the system defaults I don't want overide these.
Just copy /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/Fig yourself.

It's actually a preremove problem, not a postinstall problem.  It looks 
like the previous xfig package was missing its preremove script, which 
would have removed the old Fig* files if they were unchanged from the 
defaults.  The new xfig does have such a script, so this shouldn't be a 
problem in the future (assuming you manually copy the default files and 
don't change them).

Hmm... I have not changed the system defaults: the Fig* files were put 
there (/etc/X11/app-defaults) by previous installation of XFig (3.2.4), 
which was the first I did for Cygwin-1.7.

So, if now they are not overwritten and XFig complains about them, it 
looks a little strange.

Ciao,
Angelo.
