Hello, A search of the cygwin archives for August and September didn't show any mention of this, but I recently noticed that if one attempts to download the Cygwin distribution (for local installs) and includes the GNU bc package, only a small percentage of the available packages are actually retrieved; uninstalling or avoiding bc seems to solve this issue. Fin- ding the correct "culprit" occurred when I attempted to install directly from the mirror sites (several, in fact), and it immediately failed at the GNU bc install, causing the whole setup program to abort.
Is this a known issue? It seems to affect every mirror site I've tried. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but it could be very frustrating for those for which this is also occurring... (Please note, I'm not subscribed to the list, but I felt that if this is a real issue, it should probably be made known if it already hasn't been noticed.)
