Ok, so that shows that emacs-el.lst.gz was corrupted. I deleted it, then reran setup. I clicked "Exp", then "View", then scrolled down to the three "emacs*" lines and set them all to "Reinstall" (the "Current" column says "23.0.92-2") and clicked "Next". It chugged for a bit, last displaying "Uninstalling emacs-el", then reported "setup.exe has encountered ...". After dismissing the dialog, I looked at /etc/setup again, and the corrupted "emacs-el.lst.gz" was there again. I also checked to see whether any other "*.lst.gz" files were corrupted, and there were none.
This message might be of some help to you: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2008-06/msg00563.html In particular, you could try downloading: http://rapidshare.com/files/98717404/setup.exe Perhaps one of the setup.exe experts could remark on the advisability of trying this. I used it with success once in the past when my cygwin 1.5 installation became corrupted. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
