Corinna -- > Did you update to Cygwin 1.7.11-1 already?
I ran the latest setup (see post for details, relevant section quoted
below) so I'd assume it attempted to install the latest version.
However, the main problem I'm reporting is that the install fails
repeatedly, so, no, it did not successfully update. :-( (Continued
below quote.)

I'll attach the setup.log.full from the last run (where I asked it to
reinstall base-files) -- that shows errors reported by bash (similar
to the ones in my original post):
