* 1.7.11-1 Update returns non-zero exit codes for coreutils @ 2012-03-28 17:05 Brian Wilson 2012-03-28 17:18 ` Larry Hall (Cygwin) 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Brian Wilson @ 2012-03-28 17:05 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin I did my usual morning updates from Cygwin and saw the following error messages (thank you for the autorebase by the way, long needed, great idea). Package: Unknown package autorebase.bat exit code 1 coreutils.sh exit code 127 I've tried re-installing the coreutils package and still see the following. Package: coreutils coreutils.sh exit code 127 Package: Unknown package autorebase.bat exit code 1 While I can run the Cygwin terminal window, there appears to be a very serious issue as I can't run commands like "cd", "ls", or "cygcheck" either. When I echo the $PATH I get the following. This definitely doesn't look correct. $ echo $PATH /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows Live:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Syst em32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/ATI Technologies/ATI Control Panel:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/ATI Technologies/ATI.ACE/Core- Static:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/80/Tools/Binn:/cygdrive/c/ProgramFiles/QuickTime/QTSystem:/cygdrive/c/P rogram Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows Live I've deleted the C:\cygwin\etc\setup\coreutil.lst.gz and re-installed again. I still get the same exit code message as after the previous re-install attempt. Any idea what I've done wrong or what I need to do to get out of this situation? I can't run cygcheck or I would try to give the output as an attachment. I'm running a Windows XP SP3 system with McAfee Security Center. There are no security warnings during the download or installation. Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely, Brian S.

How did you determine that you can't run these commands? I opened the cygwin terminal and got the usual shell prompt. I entered the "cd" or "ls" commands and got a command not found error. I echoed $PATH and saw that the path didn't look correct (which is why I assume the commands couldn't be found). I would have expected to see /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin in the path somewhere. I didn't try giving the full path to these commands to see if the commands would have worked (I assume they would, but will confirm tonight). I opened an Explorer session and went to C:\cygwin\bin and I could see the ls.exe and cygcheck.exe files were present so I presumed the issue was with the $PATH not being set correctly. > > I can't run cygcheck or I would try to give the output as an attachment. > > So you're saying c:\cygwin\bin\cygcheck.exe doesn't run from cmd.exe? > True for c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe too? What feedback do you get? I got the command not found error when I tried to run cygcheck from the shell. Stupidly, I didn't try with the full path to the file in the shell. I did open a windoz cmd window and ran the cygcheck command. There were errors (which I didn't bother to record of course). I will repeat this attempt and send the results this evening.

I'd recommend making sure all Cygwin processes are stopped (including services) and try installing the cygwin and coreutils package again, along with anything else you'd like to include. If you're still having problems, cygcheck output will be helpful in any follow-up. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Also, does cygwin dev monitor this chat in case this is a bug? If not, is there a better place to report such an issue? Couple of other points. In searching some of the error codes (eg. "command not found" message), I also added "c:\cygwin\bin" to my PATH and created env variable CYGWIN_HOME as "c:\cygwin". This stopped the "command not found" message, though ls output was still empty. Thanks. *If so (ie. most likely the quickest path to resolution), I'm still a more than happy customer, and cygwin is still in the 99.9999999% satisfaction realm. Can't recall ever having an update issue like this before, but them's the breaks with software! :) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I'm suggesting reinstalling the packages in question with any other package you think might be affected. Of course, it's likely that if you re-run 'setup.exe' now (grabbing the newest one from cygwin.com of course), you'll get the newest cygwin package (1.7.12) even without asking for it to be reinstalled, since a new package for it has come out since your posting. The Cygwin development team is on this list. This is the list to report issues with Cygwin usage, with the exception of Cygwin X issues which should go to the cygwin-xfree list. > Couple of other points.

Even trying to install the latest new release didn't work. I finally just removed the application and downloaded everything again. I now have the 1.7.13-* release available and working. I made a copy of the download tracking files (I don't know the real name for these files) and was able to diff the new basic download package against the previous download and make sure I got all the packages I had previously had. With just a little work, I was able to get everything. Now I just need to setup the apache2 server, the sshd deamon, etc. I hope my notes are correct. :) Sincerely, Brian S.
