Essentially it seems to work. *** What I did (possibly I've done something wrong) and the outcome: 1. downloaded/extracted the new cygwin1.dll and noted, that it is only 2.6MB; saved the old one (3.3MB) and copied the new one over the old one in my restored Cygwin. Did a short test: everything fine. 2. started the Setup 32bit, updated 40 packages or so. Obviously the cygwin1.dll was in the update (was again 3.3MB) ... so same/similar post install errors as before. 3. copied the snapshot DLL again and redid the setup. This time 0 packages to update, but the post install ran smoothly (needed considerable time) except for this message: ----- Package: _/Unknown package xinit.sh exit code 3 ----- I consider this harmless, because my X install was not OK from the beginning and I don't need it really (have to uninstall soon). I can start bash as usual (from within TotalCommander). All other commands/scripts I tested seem to work smoothly. So IMHO the patch was successful.
