Retry / Continue dialog appearing frequently in setup for dll updates

Retry / Continue dialog appearing frequently in setup for dll updates

[Keith Christian]

On two different Windows 10 machines, I see the Retry/Continue dialog
on numerous cygwin .dll files.
These are the only cygwin processes extant while setup is running:

==========================================================
C:\Users\keith>tasklist /v | findstr /c:ssh
sshd.exe                      5656 Services                   0

282,596 K Running         10029233\keith
           0:03:40 1% - Cygwin Setup
==========================================================

Setup version is 9.19, Windows version is 10.0.19044 N/A Build 19044.
Setup might benefit from the "Continue" option having a checkbox or
separate button such as "Continue for all remaining" so that
"Continue" wouldn't require the user to click "Continue" endlessly
until all dll's are installed.
Displaying the version of setup in the main setup screen would also be
a nice feature.
Are "Retry" and "Continue" actions recorded in the setup.log files?
If not, this might be another enhancement.
(I'll send these ideas to the setup maintainer in a separate email.)P
If there is some sort of permission issue on this system, what
commands are recommended to troubleshoot and fix them?
I downloaded the latest setup yesterday specifically to see what
versions of coreutils were available.
I could see only coreutils 8.32, no coreutils 9 versions, even with
choosing Full, Test, etc. in setup.

Thanks!

Please don't.

(I don't want to give anyone the idea that is an acceptable thing to do.)

Sigh.

Please explain what makes you think that it's going to be something 
other than "send an email to the list", like every other cygwin 
question/comment/suggestion/bug report...

The standard advice is to shut down *all* Cygwin processes before running setup. 
  I don't see why we would want to make it easier for users to disregard that 
advice.

Choose the "Full" or "Up To Date" view, search for coreutils, and click the 
arrow at the right of the "New" column.  You should see "9.0-1 (Test)" as one of 
the available versions.

Hi Ken,

Yes, I attempt to shut down all cygwin processes as we all have done
over the past many years of enjoying Cygwin.
I opened a terminal as Administrator to shut down cygsshd and exim as
shown below but it did not work.
What could be wrong here?  I am surprised that cygrunsrv was unable to
stop the two processes, even as Administrator.

cygrunsrv -L
cygsshd
exim

cygrunsrv -E cygsshd

cygrunsrv -L
cygsshd
exim

cygrunsrv -E exim

cygrunsrv -L
cygsshd
exim

"ssh-pageant.sh" -k
gpgconf --kill gpg-agent dirmngr scdaemon
sh -c "for svc in $( cygrunsrv --list | grep -v cygserver ) cygserver; do net stop "^"$svc^""; done"

Restarting after setup is goin gthe other way around, except GPG services
(they are restarted by themselves as needed).
