Since Achim can't reproduce the problem, maybe we should temporarily forget about local mirrors and go back to the simpler situation reported by the OP. I just reproduced that problem in a simpler form as follows: 1. Download setup-x86.exe from the Cygwin website, and put it in an empty directory c:/download-test. 2. Run setup-x86.exe. Choose "Install from Internet". Choose the nonexistent c:\cygwin-test as root directory. Choose c:/download-test as local package directory. Choose http://mirrors.kernel.org as the only download site. Repeatedly click "Next" while setup does a base install. At this point, the download directory looks like this: download-test setup-x86.exe http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f x86 setup.ini release _autorebase ... 3. Run setup-x86.exe again, this time choosing "Install from Local Directory". setup complains that it can't get c:/download-test/http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f//x86/setup.ini.sig from . [This is the first bug; if setup expects to find signature files in local directories, it should save the ones it downloads.] 4. Retry, this time using setup-x86.exe -X. The "Select Packages" screen lists all the installed packages, but for each package the only options are "Keep" and "Uninstall". [This is the second bug; setup has apparently failed to descend into http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f.] 5. Repeat, but this time change the local package directory from the default c:/download-test to c:/download-test/http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f. Now each package has the additional option "Reinstall" (which works). Achim, can you reproduce this? Please use the official setup-x86.exe rather than the one you built, in case your local setup repo is somehow different from the upstream repo.
