Error Installing Cygwin (setup-x86_64.exe & setup-x86) - No setup.ini.sig found.

Error Installing Cygwin (setup-x86_64.exe & setup-x86) - No setup.ini.sig found.

[Robert Pace]

Hi all,

I downloaded the very latest setup-x86_64.exe and setup-x86.exe from
www.cygwin.com yesterday (version 2.872). I started trying to install
the 64bit version of cygwin and selected "download only".  I chose a
mirror from the list, and the download concluded fine.  I then re-ran
the setup application and chose "install from local directory" and
selected the folder which held the downloaded files.  The setup
application then halts installation due to a missing setup.ini.sig.  I
downloaded the setup application again, and chose a different mirror
site and and had the setup application save to a different folder.
Again the installation failed due to setup.ini.sig.  I tried three
more different mirror sites with the same problem.  I then tried using
the 32bit setup application and again received the same missing
setup.ini.sig error.  I read that one can also try running the setup
application with the -X argument which setup the subfolders for the
cygwin directory but did not populate them with any of the packages.

I am running Windows 10 Professional (64bit) build 10565.

I did install an older version of Cygwin which I had downloaded back
in January 2015 without issue.  Indicating that there is an issue with
the latest cygwin setup application.

Could you check if the setup.ini.sig file is just not stored to disk and
that setup would commence installing if you downloaded it manually and
put alongside the setup.ini file?

I can verify that the setup.ini.sig is not stored in the download
folder.  I earlier today downloaded the setup.ini.sig from the mirror
site and put that file in the mirror folder and it complained that the
setup.ini was corrupt.

Can you put both setup.ini and setup.ini.sig there (or setup.bz2 and
setup.bz2.sig), from the same mirror and downloaded at the same time?

Is there a new requirement that a local repository has to have a 
signature file?  And does it have to be setup.ini.sig (rather than, for 
example, setup.bz2.sig)?

You can always tell it to not check the signature (--no-verify / -X),
but if the directory you set it upon looks like a mirror and has a setup
file, then it will by default want to check the signature (belonging to
the actual suffix used: .xz, .bz2 and lastly .ini).

Even with -X the installation from local directory does not work. 
In semi-attended mode I can see that the installer does not see any of the 
local packages. So the installer just  create the c:/cygwin directory 
but do nothing more.

This was working before the update of the 16th of October

I maintain my own small repository at a remote site and mirror it on my local 
machine.  It contains, for each architecture, setup.ini, setup.xz, and 
setup.xz.sig.  Installation from the remote site works fine.  If I try to 
install from my local mirror, setup complains that it can't find setup.ini.sig. 
  I can install from the local mirror only if I add setup.ini.sig.

And even then, setup doesn't seem to work right on the local mirror.  The only 
choices it gives me on the local packages are "Keep" and "Uninstall".

I install also from a local mirror, not signed ini files (yet) and I
haven't had any problems.  I happen to have installed a new machine just
this week so I know this also works OK.  If there is a setup.xz,
setup.ini shouldn't even be looked at and consequently no setup.ini.xz
file should be required.

That would indicate it hasn't actually found any packages in whatever it
used as setup.ini.  What's your directory layout?  I can't make any
sense of what's happening for you.  Your local mirror should look like:

mirror
 /x86
   /setup.xz
   /setup.xz.sig
 /x86_64
   /setup.xz
   /setup.xz.sig

and setup should be pointed at "mirror".

I've just went through a whole battery of testing setup in both local
mirror mode, both using my usual scripts and via a shortcut to add an
"-mX" option to the invocation.  Leaving out the "-X" has setup complain
about the missing signature as intended.  Everything else works
correctly for me.

For download-only mode, setup doesn't write the signature file to disk,
so that will have to be corrected.

Oh and another thing: I always compile my own setup.exe, so if you can
do that  to see if it makes a difference for you?

OK, doing it that way works.  But if I add setup.ini alongside setup.xz and 
setup.xz.sig, then setup complains about not finding setup.ini.sig.

Also, having to point setup at "mirror" is a major change from the way local 
installs used to work.  I have the following structure:

download directory
   http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f/
   http...
   http...
   mirror

and I have always pointed setup at "download directory" for a local install.  In 
the past, this would then pick up the packages from all the http directories as 
well as from "mirror".  Was it a deliberate change that this no longer works? 
This change is probably what's behind the problem the others in this thread have 
reported.

It shouldn't, at least not without complaining about a missing
setup.xz.sig first.  Does it make a difference if you use the "-m"
switch?

No, that is explicitly supported (multiple mirrors), setup iterates
through the mirror list (first level of your download directory) in this
case.  I've just tested again that this works for me, with my local
Cygwin+Cygport mirror.  They work as expected with (adding the
ports.pgp) and without (using the "-X" switch).

All your subdirectories should have the structure discussed previously.
Please pay attention as to what files setup actually complains about
(for instance if it cannot read or decompress setup.bz or doesn't find
the signature file in one mirror, it will try to use setup.ini as
fallback).

Same here. I maintain a local mirror and use my own setup.ini files 
(created with genini); these do not have 'sig' files. Directory 
structure is as follows:

cygwin-2015-10-16
   /cygwin
     /x86
     /x86_64
   /cygwinports
     /noarch
     /x86
     /x86_64

The 'setup.ini' files are located in the 'x86' and 'x86_64' directories; 
setup is pointed at the 'cygwin-2015-10-16' directory. Eventually 
managed to install using an older version of setup that I had downloaded 
previously.

Hope this helps,

Dave.

Thanks for the confirmation, Dave.  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 <localdir>.  [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.

Choose "download only".

I tried that first, but it didn't work.  setup was confused by a previous run 
with a different root directory and didn't offer to do a full base install.

If that is the complete directory structure at those two levels then I
don't see how it can't work.  I'm doing exactly the same, save for the
exact directory names.  I'm using the "-mX" switches when invoking
setup.  If you have an x86 or x86_64 directory under cygwin-2015-10-16
however, then setup would never look any further (you can't nest mirror
directories).

Setup does essentially this (and finds the following setup files on my
system when it gets started in the top-level mirror directory, provided
that $arch="x86"):

$ find -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -name $arch | \
  xargs -I: sh -c 'for f in :/setup.{xz,bz2,ini}; \
  do [ -e $f ] && { echo $f ; break; } done' && \
  find -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name $arch | \
  xargs -I: sh -c 'for f in :/setup.{xz,bz2,ini}; \
  do [ -e $f ] && { echo $f ; break; } done'

./cygport/x86/setup.bz2
./cygwin/x86/setup.bz2
./maint/x86/setup.xz
./patch/x86/setup.xz
./perl/x86/setup.ini

What's the result you're getting?

Just in case you want to try the setup.exe I have compiled locally:

Are you saying you've never tested local installs without the -m switch?  If so, 
that explains why you haven't been able to reproduce the problems that several 
of us have reported.  I just verified that setup does indeed correctly descend 
into subdirectories with the -m switch.

No, I'm saying that the "-m" switch should reduce the possibility of
setup doing something unwanted, because it eliminates the possibility of
it switching into ad-hoc mode (where it searches the subdirs for
setup.ini and package files to full depth).

That still doesn't tell me what about your mirror directories triggers
it to not use local mirror mode when not using that switch.  If the
directory structure is correct that is in theory impossible since it
tries mirror mode first and only if it doesn't find a useable setup file
that way would it fall back to ad-hoc mode.  Please run the commands in
my other replay to David Stacey and tell me the result.

Just for the record, I did a git bisection, showing (unsurprisingly) that the 
first bad commit is one of the following two:

     Correct local directory search

         * fromcwd.cc: Remove unused includes.  Add global found_ini_list
         to record the search result.
         (SetupFindVisitor): Make setup.{ini,bz2,xz} known and provide bool
         private variables to record whether we found them.  Another bool
         inidir to indicate whether we are currently inside a directory
         where setup.ini files should exist.
         (SetupFindVisitor::visitFile): When inidir is true, check if a
         setup file with one of the known extensions was found and set the
         corresponding bool variables.
             (SetupFindVisitor::visitDirectory): Set inidir when appropriate.
         Recurse into directories only if they are potential mirror dirs,
         based on level. Truncate search and recurse into inidir.  Record
         any setup files in found_ini_list while preferring ".xz" over
         ".bz2" over ".ini" extension.
         (SetupFindVisitor::operator bool): Return true when found_ini_list
         is non-empty.
         (do_from_local_dir): Restrict search to either a single mirror
         hierarchy or multiple mirror hierarchy; setup files directly in
         local directory or mixed hierarchies are no longer recognized.
         The setup files must be present in an architecture dependent
         directory of "x86/" or "x86_64/", either in the local directory
         for single mirror or one level down for multiple mirrors.

     This patch already finds setup.xz files, but the code to deal with
     them will be in a later patch.  The current code re-does the search
     and ignores the results from here.

setup didn't build after 35addac, so I can't pin it down further. 
Unfortunately, those two commits seem to involve fairly substantial changes.

As test case for the bisection, I used step 4 of the recipe I posted in 
https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-10/msg00267.html.

I've checked again what exactly --mirror-mode does: if it's set, then it
basically tells setup to believe the ini file and assume the existence
of all files that are listed there.  If it's unset, then it checks if
the file is available on disk (first starting from local_dir, then
iterating thorough all mirrors) and tries to validate it.  The latter
part fails in multi-mirror mode since it doesn't seem to find the mirror
names while doing that.  I'll have to trawl the Git history to see where
and how this was dropped (it must have been a side-effect of something
else) and how to fix it.  In the meantime, please use "-mX" for local
multi-mirrors.

Thank you for your help. Here is the output from running your command:

For arch="x86":
     ./cygwin/x86/setup.ini
     ./cygwinports/x86/setup.ini

For arch="x86_64":
     ./cygwin/x86_64/setup.ini
     ./cygwinports/x86_64/setup.ini

This is as described above by my ASCII art. I have been using this 
directory structure successfully with previous versions of setup. Is 
this layout incorrect?

Dave.

I think it's now fixed and sorry for the trouble.

The signature check has been changed to not complain about a missing
signature file when installing from a local directory for the moment.
This may be changed again if and when the "download only" mode gets
smart enough to actually download the signature and ini file from the
mirror.

The other bug was showing up only for multi-mirror hierarchies (with any
number of mirror directories present, including a single one).  In this
situation setup would fail to verify the packages (unless you switched
that verification off with "-m") and hence you wouldn't be able to
install any new packages.

Until a new version makes it's way to the official site, you can try the
bugfixed setup.exe I've compiled locally:

wget="wget -rxnH --cut-dirs=1 http://cygwin.stromeko.net";

Great.  Thanks to you and David for letting me know what exactly you
were operating from and how, since otherwise I would not have found that

If anybody has an idea how to generate coverage reports while testing

Achim.
