-----Original Message-----
I made a new installation of Cygwin 64 on a new USB stick, including the
package xinit.
(I use setup -P followed by a longish but far from complete list of required
packages ..,..,xinit,..,..) At this first use of setup I got a single error
message:
Package: _/xinit xinit.sh exit code 3 At 2nd and all subsequent uses of
setup (i.e. as update) I get the slightly altered error message:
Package: _/Unknown package xinit.sh exit code 3 In practice, any usage
of xinit (e.g. to launch xterm) seems to work perfectly well, but the repeated
error message at any update transaction (including when empty) is disconcerting.
I have not tried an explicit command "bash (or dash) /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh"
as - even if this worked - I would prefer to canvass opinion on this minor glitch.
All the same - the glitch is recent, despite being minor .. ..
What filesystem is the drive formatted as: NTFS, ExFAT, FAT32, or other?
Try rerunning the xinit postinstall script as follows and report the failing
command(s) and error messages:
$ CYGWINFORALL=-A /bin/sh -vx /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh
