Setup Problem

I have downloaded the setup program and a lot of packages and have successfully installed all the stuff.
Cygwin works great. I have also updated some times some packages with the setup-program.
But sometime if i try to install the downloaded packages with "Install from local dir..." most packages succeed
but sometimes a few fail, because the setup says, there is no file ....tar-gz in the directory.
IF i take a look into this directory, there is a ...tar.gz file but the file differs in the version number. Therefore
setup thinks the file it searches for is not there. Why differs the file in the version number if i gave always done each
downloading and installing with setup?
What can i do, so setup comes back to the "rigth way" when i install/update something next time?

MTIA,
Klaus

Some directories contain a setup.hint file which contains information
about previous, current and experimental releases. Perhaps in one or
more directories the hint file isn't correct.

Do you have a reproducable case?

I believe what you are actually seeing here is that if setup has managed 
to get a new setup.ini and this setup file references a newer version 
then you will see this in list to choose from.  However if you haver 
never downloaded it then the file is not available for install. You must 
download the newer version before installing from local directory or 
simply do the install by selecting install from internet.

I am currently working on an enhancement for setup (and have been for a 
while) which will remove the problem I referred to above.  I have just 
had a lot of things going and haven't gotten as much time on it as I 
would like.

setup problem

[David Monksfield]

When I run setup and select 'www.mirror.ac.uk' as the download site, setup says:
"Unable to get setup.ini from <http://'www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sources.redhat.com/ftp/cygwin>".

This started happening a few days ago, having previously been fine.

I can add <http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/sources.redhat.com/ftp/cygwin>
(note the different path) as a new mirror and this works, but I have to do this
every time I run setup.

I think the mirrors list may need updating.

David

The URL listed in the mirrors list WFFM.

  Doesn't work for me:

  Are you sure you didn't click the ftp.mirror.ac.uk URL by mistake?  That one
does work.

  It says 
http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sources.redhat.com/ftp/cygwin/

  That URL is dead, and so is
http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sources.redhat.com/ftp/cygwin/setup.ini

  Replace the word 'sites' with 'mirror' and you get a valid directory.  Add
'setup.ini' to the end and you get a 302 redirect to

http://download.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sources.redhat.com/ftp/cygwin/setup.ini


    cheers,

The last time that sourceware contacted this site to verify its correctness was
~Feb 19 21:43.  If there are problems with the site, it will disappear from the
list eventually.

Setup problem

[Pierre Muller]

I have a problem with Cygwin since one of my last update with Setup.

At the end of the setup process I got the fllowing error

File MKPASSWD.EXE is related to a missing export NETAPI32.DLL:NetApiBufferFree

Because of this, the passwd file is not created and
when I try to run Cygwin Console I get
No user found with uid 500

even if I set USER env before !

Couldn't that the changed so that it at least works if USER
is set before loading !

Before that recent ? change
loading ssh-agent with bash worked perfectly
but now it fails ...

Tell me if you need more information about my setup,
but the problem is probably mainly do to the fact that
NETAPI32.DLL:NetApiBufferFree
is a win98 addition when I only have win95 !

Huh? This shouldn't happen with the latest version of mkpasswd
anymore. Are you sure having updated to the latest?

BTW: Regardless if mkpasswd works or not, it's not _really_ hard to
create a passwd file by using an editor...

Forget the env variable USER. It's never used by any of the OpenSSH
applications but only /etc/passwd.
