I have been unsuccessful getting 'mutt' to install without always

the problem. I install from my local directory which I keep current

Package Version Status
Missing file: /etc/Muttrc.setupnew from package mutt
Missing file: /etc/mime.types.setupnew from package mutt
mutt 1.5.20-1 Incomplete
Does this mean there is a 'mutt' packaging problem or ???
Check the postinstall script in /etc/postinstall (mutt.sh). It
might move these files which will make cygcheck think they are
missing.
The only entry in '/etc/postinstall' related to 'mutt' is 'mutt.sh.done'
which, if I understand things correctly, means that mutt was installed ok.
I did a search on my entire cygwin installation and could not find
either of the two missing files. The only place I can find them
referenced is in 'mutt.lst.gz', which is just what 'cygcheck' uses to
determine that 'mutt' is incomplete.
whoops! I reread your email and realized I didn't answer the question
you were getting at. Here is what 'mutt.sh.done' contains:
#!/bin/sh
backup_maybe() {
if ! [ -e $1 ] || ! diff -q $1 $1.setupnew >/dev/null 2>&1; then
mv -f $1 $1.old 2>/dev/null
mv -f $1.setupnew $1 2>/dev/null
else
rm -f $1.setupnew
fi
}
backup_maybe /etc/Muttrc
backup_maybe /etc/mime.types
