Hi, recently I have been trying to download/install all current ("default") cygwin packages aka do so called full install (yes, I know it advised not to do so, however it is only for testing purposes/statistics). All went well except THIS ONLY bad file socat-debuginfo-1.7.3.1-1.tar. located in "(mirror)\x86_64\release\socat This particular file is 0 (zero) bytes size across ALL mirrors, and the cygwin istaller reports error during install ("Can't open file for reading (...) Unrecognisable file format"). Please if someone could fix this error or forward this message to proper person. P.S.: I have done only "current" version test - there may be some other broken zero lenght files across mirrors in the past or future packages, but I haven't checked that.
I replaced the 0 bytes file with a proper empty tar.xz file in both x86 and x86_64 trees.
It will take some hours for the "calm" system to take note of the change and update the setup.ini Regards Marco --- Diese E-Mail wurde von Avast Antivirus-Software auf Viren geprüft. https://www.avast.com/antivirus -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
