Re: trouble again downloading.

[Pavel Tsekov]

Hello dave,

Looking through you setup.log.full I find this:

[irc] action=Skip trust=prev installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
[squid] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Web
[inetutils] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
[ncftp] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
[openssh] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
[openssl] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Libs, Net
[rsync] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
[ttcp] action=Skip trust=prev installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
[whois] action=Skip trust=prev installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net

This are all members of the Net category - one of the list which you
say you weren't able to install. You notice the the action next to all of
these packages is set to Skip - this means that the installer will not
try to install/download them.

You say that you have ensured that the word 'Install' stays next to
the Net category (If I understand right your message from Apr 30), but
then the action would not be Skip as you can see from a setup.log.full
generated right as I am writing this message - I've just run setup.exe
and on the package chooser screen I changed from Default to Install
next to Net:

[apache] action=1.3.24-3 trust=curr installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net, Web
     requires=gdbm, cygwin
[inetutils] action=Keep trust=curr installed=1.3.2-17 src?=no
     categories=All, Net
[irc] action=20010101-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
     requires=termcap, cygwin, ash
[ncftp] action=3.1.3-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
     requires=less, terminfo, libreadline5, libncurses5, cygwin
[openssh] action=Keep trust=curr installed=3.1p1-1 src?=no
     categories=All, Net
[openssl] action=Keep trust=curr installed=0.9.6c-3 src?=no
     categories=All, Libs, Net
[rsync] action=2.5.5-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
     requires=cygwin
[ttcp] action=19980512-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
     requires=cygwin
[whois] action=4.5.17-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, Net
     requires=cygwin

Can share with the list what choices did you make during the
installation proccess ? I think Michael Chase already asked you about
this but you did not respond to his message. Are you installing cygwin
on this machine for the first time or you're upgrading existing
installation  ? What is the operating system ?

He responded directly to me, but the response didn't include a list of what
actions he took during his attempt to use setup.exe.

Dave,

Why do you keep responding to only me with these messages?  I am not the
sole source of wisdom.

I have added cygwin@cygwin.com to this message's address list, please do
not remove it again.

Ok - what about the other two questions I asked you ? The OS and if
this is a virgin cygwin install ?

Here is something I want you to try - after changing from 'Default' to 'Install'
next to each category you want to install press the 'View' button (in
the upper right corner) until the text next to the button says
'Partial'. Now do you see any packages in the chooser window ?

>> Do you want my logs again?

Nope.

Re: Re[2]: trouble again downloading.

[dave]

Hello all,
    First of all my apologies, i did not not mean to offend some of you by
direct replies, i just have a bad habit of hitting the reply button.
    When i selected the categories i wanted packages for then went to view
and partial i did see packages in the viewer window, however when i then
went to next setup said download complete again. As a side note the only
file it appears to get is setup.ini
Thanks, and please keep the suggestions coming.
Dave.

Re[4]: trouble again downloading.

[Pavel Tsekov]

Hello Dave,

I can neither confirm, nor deny this behaviour. I've tried hard to
reproduce it but to no avail :( I'll take a look at the source code
this night - hopefully I'll see something :) The disturbing thing
about your issue is that no one (except you) has reported this
behaviour. Usually when there is a bug (in  setup) it shows up on the
list at one point and there are (usually) multiple confirmations of
the buggy behaviour.

If you feel like it, you can get the sources for the latest released
setup.exe from CVS, build yourself a debug version and try to debug
it. If you think you that you're willing to debug but dont feel like
building setup.exe on your own, I can build a debug version for you.

Hello Dave,

Please, keep replies to the list.

Ok - now that all of the questions I've asked you're answered please
report what happens when you change the view to 'Partial'.
