This is the easy part, but how do I install a package via bash? I tried it this way: W10dev:/usr/local: /setup-x86_64.exe -M -B -R "$CYGWIN_ROOT" -l "$CYGWIN_ROOT/.pkg-cache" -s https://ftp.fau.de/cygwin -P mksh Starting cygwin install, version 2.908 User has NO backup/restore rights io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/setup.rc) failed 2 No such file or directory Current Directory: C:\Users\admin\cygwin/.pkg-cache root: C:\Users\admin\cygwin user Selected local directory: C:\Users\admin\cygwin/.pkg-cache net: Preconfig site: https://ftp.fau.de/cygwin/ But got "Nothing to install or update" https://fex.flupp.org/fop/nbVoB9kQ/X-20210708155136.png The fopen() error is mysterious for me, too: W10dev:/usr/local: ll /etc/setup/setup.rc -rw-r--r-- admin None 11,850 2021-07-08 15:36:54 /etc/setup/setup.rc W10dev:/usr/local: id uid=1001(admin) gid=197121(None) groups=197121(None),545(Users),4(INTERACTIVE),66049(CONSOLE LOGON),11(Authenticated Users),15(This Organization),113(Local account),4095(CurrentSession),66048(LOCAL),262154(NTLM Authentication),401408(Medium Mandatory Level) W10dev:/usr/local: head -2 /etc/setup/setup.rc last-cache C:\Users\admin\cygwin/.pkg-cache -- Ullrich Horlacher Server und Virtualisierung Rechenzentrum TIK Universitaet Stuttgart E-Mail: horlac...@tik.uni-stuttgart.de Allmandring 30a Tel: ++49-711-68565868 70569 Stuttgart (Germany) WWW: http://www.tik.uni-stuttgart.de/ REF:<bf14fb2b-ddf5-8618-0da3-9ea5531c5...@dronecode.org.uk> -- 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
