I tested this issue with clean installed 64bit Windows 10 1909. At first I downloaded setup-x86_64.exe from Cygwin Web page and executed it. According to start message, version is 2.904. Then I installed only Base packages, exited setup-x86_64.exe, opened Cygwin console and checked /etc/setup/installed.db. All lines end with "0". Next I executed setup-x86_64.exe again, selected 'openssh", installed it, and checked /etc/setup/installed.db. All lines still end with "0". After that I installed some other packages. But there is no line ending with "1" in /etc/setup/installed.db. Therefore if this isn't expected behavior, there must be bug in latest (or recent) version of setup.exe. FYI, I removed all cygwin-related files from my main PC and re-setuped cygwin environment about a month ago. --- Yasuhiro KIMURA -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
