I apologize for the trouble this is causing people. I'm looking into
this problem now.
I didn't test the install with setup. I just ran my postinstall script
by hand to test it. I don't know why installing with setup is having
this effect.
For now I suggest that no one installs the lftp-2.6.8 package.
I also ask that this package be removed from the cygwin.com ftp server
until I can package a 2.6.8-2 version.
