Re: cygcheck -cd : No setup information

[Paul McFerrin <pmcferrin at columbus dot rr dot com>]

Here is my ENTIRE chgcheck -c output:
$ cygcheck -c
Cygwin Package Information
No setup information found

The -s option does provide system information but without the package 
info but at the end, I get the following:
Cygwin Package Information
No setup information found
Use -h to see help about each section
'id' program not found
'id' program not found
/etc/setup.$ type id
id is /bin/id
$ id
uid=1003(paul) gid=513(None) 
groups=0(root),544(Administrators),545(Users),1005(AcronisBackupServerUsers),513(None),544(Administrators),545(Users),1005(AcronisBackupServerUsers),513(None)

The installed.db contains 414 records including the following:
   INSTALLED.DB 2
   base-cygwin base-cygwin-2.0-1.tar.bz2 0
   cygwin cygwin-1.7.0-62.tar.bz2 0
   cygwin-doc cygwin-doc-1.5-1.tar.bz2 0

Now if we can only have better clues as to what is wrong.  The error 
message "No setup information found" is not a very helpful clue.
The same error as my fresh install on cygwin onto my USB Flash drive.
