Postinstall scripts autorebase, man-db, texlive, and a few others sometimes take minutes to run: YMMV. > "/usr/bin" does not normally exist on Cygwin installations. > > Whatever gave you _that_ idea? Only /bin/ and /lib/ are created under the Cygwin root: /usr/bin/ and /usr/lib/ (also / and /proc/cygdrive/?/) appear as mount points under Cygwin processes. If you use a Cygwin shell you can see /usr/{bin,lib}/, etc.; if you use a Windows shell you can not. -- Take care.
