Hi there,

This is about a small issue I ran into with using virtualenv-20.2.2-1
(package name python38-virtualenv) with Python 3.8.10 (package
python38) in Cygwin (64-bit).

After having installed python38-virtualenv (and its automatically
picked dependencies), using virtualenv by:

    $ python -m virtualenv <folder>

presented me the output attached as file [a02.txt]. "filelock" is a
Python package, part of the cygwin package database. Having installed
it, the same command as above yielded [a03.txt] (attached); there was
no more output. Having treated the package "distlib" mentioned there
the same way as "filelock", creating a virtual environment now
succeeds.

I did some googling:

    site:sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin virtualenv filelock

    virtualenv filelock cygwin

without substantial results; thus posting here.

Judging from [a02.txt], "filelock" is a *direct* dependency of
"virtualenv".  I do not know if the same holds for "distlib".

Since I feel that this is a pretty obvious result I am skipping the
"cygcheck -svr" output here.

Best,
Friedrich
