Ah, maybe I have misunderstood what you meant: I thought you meant the invalid option is silently ignored, but you meant that when started like that, an invalid option causes setup to silently do nothing. That's because the error is being written to a non-existent console. Unfortunately, knowing if we've been started from a terminal or not to report the error appropriately is a bit of a problem. >> Depending on the results of the tests suggested with wget, I > may > >> consider changing or removing > the user-agent reported by cygwin setup, > >> or providing such an option. > > > > This snapshot adds a > --user-agent option, which allows the user agent > > string to be specified. > > > > https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.878-8-gee3cea.x86.exe > > https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.878-8-gee3cea.x86_64.exe > >> Ping? > > > Could you let me know if this helps, or if > you've given up, so I know > what to do > with these patches? > -------- > > Sorry, I missed seeing this before.
