Hello all, During the daily update this morning, I saw a slight anomaly while running Setup. I've attached the setup log.
This is what I got: after download, during un-installation (with no Cygwin
applications running) I got a message box the cygwin1.dll was missing in
the PATH - which is a bit normal as it has just been un-installed to be
updated. It was uninstalling xerces when it complained.
This kinda figures, because there is a "preremove" shell script, which is
run with sh, which needs the cygwin1 DLL (which was already removed). The
setup log shows this nicely:
2003/02/10 10:02:18 Starting cygwin install, version 2.249.2.5

2003/02/10 10:03:42 running: D:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c /etc/preremove/xerces-c-devel.sh
[snip]
Preremove scripts also exist for cygwin-doc and gcc-mingw. This means that
if Cygwin and one of these packages are simultaniously updated, the (IMHO
anomalous) message box complaining about an absent cygwin1.dll will
appear. Some dependency tracking of the updated packages may be in order
if this is to be fixed (not uninstalling a package unless all packages to
be uninstalled that depend in it have effectively been uninstalled, in
stead of alphabetical order).
I am not familiar with the Setup code, so I can send a patch for this
problem, at least for the time being.. just thought you might like to know
anyway :)
Greetz!

NB: I cross-posted this to both cygwin@... and cygwin-apps@... because (as
I understand it) this is on-topic on both lists. Forgive me if that
was a mistake...
NNB: I had to re-post this to at least [EMAIL PROTECTED] because the
attachment was apparently too large. If this means that some got the
message twice on cygwin-apps, I apologize (but I haven't seen it
arrive there either, so I don't think it'll be the case)
