Hi all, As Jon mentioned in the following mail, something may go wrong in the VM for building packages. https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2025-April/257948.html
Many files/directories don't have permissions for non-privileged users. These packages are examples I found. Other packages may have same issues. * emacs-common-30.1-1 (subdirs.el is not readable) * libpng16-1.6.47-1 (The impact is minor) * screen-5.0.0-1 (utf8 settings?) emacs-common-30.1-1 $ tar Jtfv emacs-common-30.1-1-x86_64.tar.xz | grep -e '^.......[^r]' drwxrwx--- Guest/None 0 2025-04-21 07:57 usr/include/ drwxrwx--- Guest/None 0 2025-04-21 07:56 usr/lib/systemd/ drwxrwx--- Guest/None 0
