Thanks Corinna, I suppose I'll try to reinstall. Is there an easy way to see a list of packages I've installed on top of the default install, so that I can install all those same packages?
FYI, each time I run setup-x86.exe I get the same behavior. Here is a snippet of a follow-on session from setup.log (notice the 7 min stall at autorebase.bat): 2013/08/22 16:38:21 Starting cygwin install, version 2.819 2013/08/22 16:38:21 User has NO backup/restore rights 2013/08/22 16:38:21 Current Directory: C:\Users\jfritz\AppData\Local\cygwin 2013/08/22 16:38:21 Could not open Service control manager 2013/08/22 16:38:47 source: network install 2013/08/22 16:38:47 root: C:\cygwin binary system 2013/08/22 16:38:48 Selected local directory: C:\Users\jfritz\AppData\Local\cygwin 2013/08/22 16:38:48 net: Direct 2013/08/22 16:38:52 site: ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/ 2013/08/22 16:39:02 Changing gid back to original 2013/08/22 16:39:02 running: cmd.exe /c "C:\cygwin\etc\postinstall\autorebase.bat" 2013/08/22 16:46:33 note: Nothing needed to be installed 2013/08/22 16:46:33 Ending cygwin install Thank you, Jason -----Original Message----- On Aug 22 22:13, Fritz, Jason wrote: > Today I downloaded the new setup-x86.exe from Cygwin.com and upgraded my > Cygwin release.

Maybe the easiest way out is an installation from scratch and to copy only your local changes and home dir over afterwards.
