Hello,
While performing a fresh install of cygwin 2.5.0 x86_64 on Windows 7
64-bit I encountered the following postinstall error for plotutils-2.6-4:
Excerpt from setup.log:
2016/04/17 20:07:07 running: E:\Cygwin64\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
"/etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh"
2016/04/17 20:07:09 abnormal exit: exit code=1
Manually re-running the /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh script appears to
resolve the issue. However, re-running the script will re-induce the
failure as demonstrated below.
$ /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh ; echo $?
0
$ /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh ; echo $?
/usr/share/fonts/misc: failed to write cache
1
$ /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh ; echo $?
0
To ensure it is not re-run again later, I simply did the following until
the script was renamed to its .done form:
$ /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh && mv /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh
/etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh.done
/usr/share/fonts/misc: failed to write cache
$ /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh && mv /etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh
/etc/postinstall/plotutils.sh.done
While this is a work-around, I thought it was worth reporting with the
hope that it would be resolved during the setup phase in the future.
Best regards,
Ken
