[Warning] lftp hangs on install

[Mark Blackburn <mark at fangorn dot ca>]

As reported previously installing lftp-2.6.8-1 over a previously 
installed lftp-2.6.6-1 will cause setup to hang and an errant sh.exe 
process to write repeatedly to a /var/log/setup.log.postinstall file.

This was a bug in my postinstall script that was uncovered by new 
functionality in setup.

To avoid this problem either do not install lftp (either version since 
the bug exists in both versions).

Or make sure to delete or move /etc/lftp.conf (if it exists) before 
attempting to install it.

If not you will have to kill the sh.exe process that is running the 
sh.exe. This is best done through task manager on W2K or CTRL-ALT-DEL on 
Win98. This sh.exe process will fill up your hard drive otherwise.

The lftp-2.6.8-1.tar.bz2 has been removed from cygwin.com and should 
dissappear from the mirrors soon.
This is to alleviate this problem.

Sorry for this inconvenience.

Mark Blackburn.
