I attempted to reinstall Cygwin on my system. The reinstall kept
seeming to get locked up. So, after downloading all of Cygwin to a
local directory, I moved the install directory out of the way and tried
to install from (I guess) scratch. Cygwin seemed to always get stuck in
the man-db.sh script during the post-install process. I'm not sure if
the process was conflicting with the McAfee virus scanner. I was
finally able to kill the man-db.sh script after ~12 hours of running and
the installer seemed to go on and finish the installation. I'm not
sure, though, what the state of the install is.
1. Is this a known problem?
Yes, it has been discussed recently on the list.
2. Can I rerun the postinstall/man-db.sh script by hand? If so, how?
You can. Just run it from bash.
3. Or is there a script that I could run instead?
No, man-db.sh is the right script if you're looking to get all the
indexing that man-db prefers.
