I think this is the same problem as described at [1], in which case, hopefully it's already fixed (although how exactly you get into the state where a dependency hasn't been installed is mysterious and perhaps indicates another bug) (This was a pre-existing defect which has been made worse by the addition of progress reporting for dependency checking, as the place we get stuck at is different) [1] http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2010-12/msg00056.html -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
