Both at work and home I install Cygwin on several machines and I keep a local cache of the Cygwin install files to reduce the time to update.
I always run setup.exe and perform a full install of everything. Since upgrading to the latest version of setup, when performing the local install from the local cache I get apparently random warning boxes with the following error text: - Can't open file://L:\ods\rtoy\Cygnus/ for reading: Unrecognisable file format. The boxes (51 occurences) can be simply clicked away and the install completes. Once complete a check of the installation (cygcheck -cv) shows that it is complete (all OK) The same error occurs in both the work (Windows XP) and home (Windows 7) environments. In both cases the local cache is accessed through a mapped network drive. Here is a chunck of setup.log.full from C:\cygwin\var\log unlink C:\cygwin\lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/svn/util.rb unlink C:\cygwin\lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/svn/wc.rb unlink C:\cygwin\bin/cygsvn_swig_ruby-1-0.dll unlink C:\cygwin\lib/libsvn_swig_ruby-1.dll.a unlink C:\cygwin\lib/libsvn_swig_ruby-1.la rmdir C:\cygwin\lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/svn rmdir C:\cygwin\lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin/svn/ext rmdir C:\cygwin\lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin/svn rmdir C:\cygwin\lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin 2010/01/11 08:36:45 Uninstalling _update-info-dir 2010/01/11 08:36:45 mbox note: Can't open file://L:\ods\rtoy\Cygnus/ for reading: Unrecognisable file format 2010/01/11 08:41:55 mbox note: Can't open file://L:\ods\rtoy\Cygnus/ for reading: Unrecognisable file format 2010/01/11 08:41:56 mbox note: Can't open file://L:\ods\rtoy\Cygnus/ for reading: Unrecognisable file format 2010/01/11 08:41:56 Extracting from file://L:\ods\rtoy\Cygnus/http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f/release/cloog-ppl/cloog-ppl-0.15.7-1.tar.bz2 Installing file cygfile:///usr/bin/cloog.exe Installing file cygfile:///usr/share/ Installing file cygfile:///usr/share/doc/ Installing file cygfile:///usr/share/doc/cloog-ppl/ Installing file cygfile:///usr/share/doc/cloog-ppl/LICENSE Installing file cygfile:///usr/share/doc/cloog-ppl/README Installing file cygfile:///usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ Installing file cygfile:///usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cloog-ppl.README Installing file cygfile:///usr/share/info/ Installing file cygfile:///usr/share/info/cloog.info.gz 2010/01/11 08:41:57 Extracting from file://L:\ods\rtoy\Cygnus/http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f/release/colorgcc/colorgcc-1.3.2-2.tar.bz2 Installing file cygfile:///etc/ Installing file cygfile:///etc/defaults/ Installing file cygfile:///etc/defaults/etc/ Installing file cygfile:///etc/defaults/etc/colorgcc/ Has anyone else seen this?
