Setup missing installed packages

Setup missing installed packages

[Lemke, Michael ST/HZA-ZIC2]

I was just about to update my Cygwin installation when setup would list only a fraction of my installed packages. For instance git is missing but I have it installed. setup_version is 2.893 and running it with -v it tells there are 69 packages installed. But

$ wc /etc/setup/installed.db
  835  2504 36779 /etc/setup/installed.db

and I also see all these tar files in the installation directory. This is a 32bit installation on Win10 64bit.

What is going on, how can I debug this?

69 packages seems a minimal installation.
May be you have more than one Cygwin installed ?

Double check the proposed installation directory from setup

Thanks, I did and I can't find anything wrong. Where does setup.exe gets
the information from? I tried several versions, the current official one,
the new snapshot and something older I have lying around. They all do
this. They are in my distribution directory with all the Cygwin downloads
and all show the correct location of distribution directory and installation
directory. Some junk in the registry?

Thanks,
Michael

Nevermind, I found it. setup.exe chose c:\cygwin as installation directory
which is wrong for my installation. I don't know, though, why it picked
this directory. Anyway, if I enter the correct location manually everything
is fine. Sorry for the noise.

c:\cygwin is the default for 32 bit installation.

uhm ...

Data stored in the registry (Cygwin_root, local_repo):

For a 32-bits instance of Cygwin,
    see HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygwin

For a 64-bits instance of Cygwin,
    see HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cygwin

.. but if you are using a fixed location for your Cygwin_root and
for your local_repo (distribution directory), why not:

 - create a shortcut to the setup executable ...
 - and add -n -R x:/your_root -l x:/_your_local_repo as arguments
   to the invocation of the executable
   ( x = your drive letter)

and force yourself to use that shortcut?

That would override any default (either by the setup executable or
by you in the past).

.. and save you the trouble of posting to this list.

Regards,
Henri

Ah, this might explain why I never had this problem in the 15+ years
of using Cygwin. I got a new PC a while ago and data was just copied
to it from the old PC. It certainly omitted registry settings. Now 
that I updated my Cygwin installation setup's amnesia is gone.

Sorry about that, I'll unsubscribe soon 😉
