'dirname' is /usr/bin/dirname. Does setup-1.7.exe set
PATH before running 'base-files-profile.sh'? If not,
then this would account for the error.
It is possible to rewrite the command without using
'dirname':
/bin/mkdir -p ${fDest%/*}
$ cygcheck -f /etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh
base-files-3.8-3
$ cygcheck -c base-files-3.8
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
base-files 3.8-3 OK
It does set the path. This is one of those cases where we really do
need to see the cygcheck output:
Included below (as an attachment) is the file generated by:
$ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
