(Tried to post this to cygwin-apps as requested by mailing list home page but
cannot as this is a controlled list.)
I've had a problem with the latest setup.exe V2.249.2.5 installing from local
directory which I've never seen before and can't seem to get around:
I downloaded several packages that I wanted to update into a local directory
(as I always do) then run setup.exe - I selected all the packages to update -
it then uninstalled the old versions OK BUT then tried to uninstall the new
versions too! Of course it reported 'null' files for each and I ended up
with all these packages uninstalled!
Now rerunning setup it won't show any package in setup.ini except those I've
already got installed so I can't select installation of any new packages.
I presume some file in my cygwin area has been corrupted but I can't see
what.
