They actually are packaged, so I'm not sure why they wouldn't be available on your system. In other words you should see an "incomplete" package from cygcheck and a re-installation should fix it. > /var/cache/rebase is the critical one: without it, the rebase-trigger > script can=E2=80=99t set the trigger, so the rebasing will never happen. = The > lack of the others just causes nonfatal complaints.

Maybe if you find something in /var/log/setup.log you could let me know.
