I tried using a new cygwin mirror (xmission) and now the install is working cleanly again. Only thing I can think at this point is that the previous mirror I was using had some corrupted files from the latest rsync (it had worked fine previously). I wish there was some way to tell from the log output which files had issues. Here are some excerpts from the log file, maybe this will help narrow down the root cause: Many get_url_to_file calls and "Downloaded" messages. No errors that I can see in this section get_url_to_file http://mirror.com/mirrors/Cygwin//release/xz/xz-5.0.2_20110517-1.tar.bz2 E:\cygwin\packages/http%3a%2f%2fmirror.com%2fmirrors%2fCygwin%2f/ release/xz/xz-5.0.2_20110517-1.tar.bz2.tmp 2012/10/30 05:33:01 Downloaded E:\cygwin\packages/http%3a%2f%2fmirror.com%2fmirrors%2fCygwin%2f/ release/xz/xz-5.0.2_20110517-1.tar.bz2 get_url_to_file http://mirror.com/mirrors/Cygwin//release/zlib/zlib0/zlib0-1.2.7-1.tar.bz2 E:\cygwin\packages/http%3a%2f%2fmirror.com%2fmirrors%2fCygwin%2f/release /zlib/zlib0/zlib0-1.2.7-1.tar.bz2.tmp 2012/10/30 05:33:02 Downloaded E:\sat_cygwin\packages/http%3a%2f%2fmirror.com%2fmirrors%2fCygwin%2f/release /zlib/zlib0/zlib0-1.2.7-1.tar.bz2 Then I see a general download error, no filename mentioned 2012/10/30 05:33:02 download error in unattended_mode: 3 retries remaining. 2012/10/30 05:33:02 site: http://mirror.com/mirrors/Cygwin/ Downloading the compressed setup.ini get_url_to_membuf http://mirror.com/mirrors/Cygwin//setup.bz2 getUrlToStream http://mirror.com/mirrors/Cygwin//setup.bz2 get_url_to_membuf http://mirror.com/mirrors/Cygwin//setup.bz2.sig getUrlToStream http://mirror.com/mirrors/Cygwin//setup.bz2.sig Comparing package signatures? package a2ps comparing versions 4.14-1 and 4.14-1, result was 0 package a2ps comparing versions 4.13-1 and 4.13-1, result was 0 package aalib comparing versions 1.4rc5-10 and 1.4rc5-10, result was 0 package aalib comparing versions 1.4rc5-3 and 1.4rc5-3, result was 0 package aalib-devel comparing versions 1.4rc5-10 and 1.4rc5-10, result was 0 These last three sections are repeated until the retries are exhausted (4 total). For the life of me, I can't see any error indicating exactly what failed. Is there any way to turn on extra verbosity when running setup.exe?
