Hello Warren, After your last mail, I've made some tests according with your explanations :
- Downloading and installing with unmodified setup.exe wasn't ok, until I changed the download site (you're right about bogus domain names) - after this change, no more problem, installing was correct, even with my modified setup. x86 version is ok now, I have to made the same thing with x64 version For information, I've chosen the following sites : http://mirrors.sonic.net And without -C base and with --quiet-mode, it's ok. Thank you so much for your help Have a nice day Regards, Emmanuelle FOURNIER E-mail : emmanuelle.fourn...@partnre.com ----- Mail original ----- De: "Warren Young" <w...@etr-usa.com> À: "cygwin" <cygwin@cygwin.com> Envoyé: Vendredi 1 Avril 2016 03:09:42 Objet: Re: Packages not found by setup 2.873 On Mar 31, 2016, at 2:57 AM, EMMANUELLE FOURNIER <emmanuelle.fourn...@partnre.com> wrote: > > I've changed in tar.bz2, because in the x86 version of program, they were in > tar.bz2. You’ve misdiagnosed the cause of the change. Cygwin changed from distributing bz2-packed tarballs to xz-packed tarballs many months ago for both x86 and x86_64. > But if you mean that is not a cause, I will modify this.

Then if that fails, get back to us. > 2016/03/25 16:21:28 Selected local directory: > C:\D3IPARAM\setup_cygwin\cygwin-setup\http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.gicm.net%3a8080%2f It seems you’re using bogus domain names in your setup.ini file. http://cygwin.gicm.net doesn’t resolve: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/cygwin.gicm.net I don’t know if this is the primary problem or just a contributing error, but you shouldn’t have setup.exe chasing after things that don’t exist. At best, it will cause it to do a bunch of work with no useful effect. > And I can try without "-C base”. I verified that guess after I posted it: -C base is indeed not necessary. > A final information : I've made it with x86 setup on x64 target machine. Is > it a problem ? I don't think so, but I still wonder. If you mean that you’re installing 32-bit Cygwin on a 64-bit machine, that’s fine. The other direction is not fine. -- Ce message et toutes les pieces jointes (ci-apres le "message") sont confidentiels et etablis a l'intention exclusive de ses destinataires.
