And does it have to be setup.ini.sig (rather than, for example, setup.bz2.sig)?You can always tell it to not check the signature (--no-verify / -X), but if the directory you set it upon looks like a mirror and has a setup file, then it will by default want to check the signature (belonging to the actual suffix used: .xz, .bz2 and lastly .ini).I maintain my own small repository at a remote site and mirror it on my local machine. It contains, for each architecture, setup.ini, setup.xz, and setup.xz.sig. Installation from the remote site works fine. If I try to install from my local mirror, setup complains that it can't find setup.ini.sig. I can install from the local mirror only if I add setup.ini.sig.Same here. I maintain a local mirror and use my own setup.ini files (created with genini); these do not have 'sig' files. Directory structure is as follows: cygwin-2015-10-16 /cygwin /x86 /x86_64 /cygwinports /noarch /x86 /x86_64 The 'setup.ini' files are located in the 'x86' and 'x86_64' directories; setup is pointed at the 'cygwin-2015-10-16' directory. Eventually managed to install using an older version of setup that I had downloaded previously.
Thanks for the confirmation, Dave. Since Achim can't reproduce the problem, maybe we should temporarily forget about local mirrors and go back to the simpler situation reported by the OP. I just reproduced that problem in a simpler form as follows:
1. Download setup-x86.exe from the Cygwin website, and put it in an empty directory c:/download-test.
2. Run setup-x86.exe. Choose "Install from Internet". Choose the nonexistent c:\cygwin-test as root directory. Choose c:/download-test as local package directory. Choose http://mirrors.kernel.org as the only download site. Repeatedly click "Next" while setup does a base install.
At this point, the download directory looks like this: download-test setup-x86.exe http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f x86 setup.ini release _autorebase ...3. Run setup-x86.exe again, this time choosing "Install from Local Directory". setup complains that it can't get c:/download-test/http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f//x86/setup.ini.sig from <localdir>. [This is the first bug; if setup expects to find signature files in local directories, it should save the ones it downloads.]
4. Retry, this time using setup-x86.exe -X. The "Select Packages" screen lists all the installed packages, but for each package the only options are "Keep" and "Uninstall". [This is the second bug; setup has apparently failed to descend into http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f.]
5. Repeat, but this time change the local package directory from the default c:/download-test to c:/download-test/http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f. Now each package has the additional option "Reinstall" (which works).
Achim, can you reproduce this? Please use the official setup-x86.exe rather than the one you built, in case your local setup repo is somehow different from the upstream repo.
