Folks
After many years of very successful CYGWIN installations, I find the
current one fails when I try the "wget" utility, claiming that
cygz.dll cannot be found. I've had to revert back to an old CYGWIN
that I fortunately retained.
Is there any estimate as to when this might be solved?
Thanks
David

Something must have gone wrong with your installation. cygz.dll is
provided by the zlib0 package, which is required by wget. Try
reinstalling zlib0.

Yes. Locate zlib0 in the package listing, and click on the spinner in
the "New" column until it says "reinstall".

An install shouldn't take 12 hours, unless you tried to install
everything and you have a slow network connection. If you still have
/var/log/setup.log.full from that install, I suggest you take a look at
it and see if you can tell why the install took so long.
If you aren't able to resolve the issue and have to write again, please
attach cygcheck output as explained here:
