I think it's the effect of the latest gnubg package, can anyone fix it? https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/gnubg.git;a=blobdiff;f=gnubg.cygport;h=559ae03f174cbcd3ad7ab3fcca11ad210f45ed0f;hp=471f68c78804b0da14e7a22fa9befce86cc2521e;hb=0961ac54da1a03e8c747281f8359449636dd0db7;hpb=522ffd2cf1f6fb831f14b239058d5f589a176917
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Keith Thompson via Cygwin <cyg...@cygwin.com> Date: Fri, Apr 7, 2023 at 10:45 AM Subject: Error running setup-x86_64.exe: syntax error in setup.zst To: <cyg...@cygwin.com> Cc: Keith Thompson <keithsthomp...@gmail.com> Running setup-x86_64.exe on a Windows 10 laptop, I get this error message: https://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/setup.zst line 30182: syntax error, unexpected $undefined, expecting COMMA or NL https://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/setup.zst line 30182: unrecognized line 30183 (do you have the latest setup?) https://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/setup.zst line 30203: syntax error, unexpected $undefined, expecting COMMA or NL https://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/setup.zst line 30203: unrecognized line 30204 (do you have the latest setup?) (I can't copy the text from the message box so I retyped it.) I re-downloaded setup-x86_64.exec, and it's identical to the one on my laptop. I'm using the mirrors.kernel.org mirror. The setup.zst from mirrors.dotsrc.org is identical. I decompressed setup.zst and I do see something suspicious on the indicated lines. Here's line 30182: build-depends: \, bison, cygport, dblatex, docbook2X, flex, gettext-devel, libGLU-devel, libcairo-devel, libcanberra-gtk-devel, libcurl-devel, libfreetype-devel, libglib2.0-devel, libgmp-devel, libgtk2.0-devel, libgtkglext1.0-devel, libpango1.0-devel, libpng-devel, libreadline-devel, libsqlite3-devel, libxslt, python3-devel, texinfo Line 30203 is similar. I don't see a lone backslash anywhere else in the file. The setup.zst from mirrors.sonic.net does *not* have problematic build-depends lines. (Switching to a different mirror might be a workaround, but I haven't tried it yet.) The "bad" setup.zst has "setup-timestamp: 1680813730" (Thu 2023-04-06 20:42:10 UTC). The "good" setup.zst has "setup-timestamp: 1680795371" (Thu 2023-04-06 15:36:11 UTC). The bad one is about 5 hours newer than the good one. I'm concerned that the bad setup.zst might propagate to other mirrors. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
