Marco,

The package is lyx not lynx.

$ cygcheck -l lyx | grep etc
/etc/postinstall/lyx.sh/lyx.sh

sorry, than it is a package mistake

Mon Jun 14 02:22:31 2010              0 etc/postinstall/
Mon Jun 14 02:23:03 2010              0 etc/postinstall/lyx.sh/
Thu Sep 28 03:08:48 2006            440 etc/postinstall/lyx.sh/lyx.sh

as workaround same suggestion

remove etc/postinstall/lyx.sh/
move etc/postinstall/lyx.sh/lyx.sh to etc/postinstall/lyx.sh


/etc/postinstall should have no subdirectory

I'm a long time user of cygwin, but have not participated in development
and thus unfamiliar with  "general package ownership" or "how to fix".

This seems like it would be easy to fix so others don't have to deal
with it.  Is this something I can help fix and if yes, can you provide
an initial direction?

My install was unaffected - it doesn't have the file that would be
manipulated: /etc/fonts/local.conf

=========== listing of lyx.sh ===========\
$ cat /etc/postinstall/lyx.sh/lyx.sh
#!/bin/sh

# Add /usr/share/lyx/fonts to /etc/fonts/local.conf
# if it is not already there.
if [ -f /etc/fonts/local.conf ]; then
    grep -q /usr/share/lyx/fonts /etc/fonts/local.conf
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
        sed 's/^<\/fontconfig>/<dir>\/usr\/share\/lyx\/fonts<\/dir>
<\/fontconfig>/' /etc/fonts/local.conf > /etc/fonts/local.conf.tmp
        mv -f /etc/fonts/local.conf.tmp /etc/fonts/local.conf
        fc-cache /usr/share/lyx/fonts
    fi

Tim,
I suspect the mantainer (Bo Peng) is MIA.
I have not seen any mail from him on cygwin mailing list for
the last 2 years.

There as been around 10 release after the 1.6.6

Marco

Hi, Marco,

I retired from the lyx development team a few years ago and have
stopped maintaining its cygwin build. I have asked around but nobody
seemed to be interested in taking over my role. Anyway, if the 1.6.6
building is not working properly, I will try to update it to the
latest version in the next few weeks.

Bo

Hi Bo,
the error in this case seems minimal

   etc/postinstall/lyx.sh/lyx.sh
should be
   etc/postinstall/lyx.sh

a simple repack should enough.

Regards
Marco
