Hello, I tried upgrading some old cygwin installs on a couple of computers today. I downloaded the very latest setup (32 bit) and ran them. On one machine I ran the upgrade twice, on this machine the process hanged forever on 0p_000_autorebase.dash
Running 0p_000_autorebase.dash manually from dash I found that the very first time you run it it works fine, but any subsequent times in requires user input (and hence would hang forever in a non interactive terminal). It requires user input because the file /var/cache/rebase/rebase_dyn is created read only the first time and then the second time a rm requires user confirmation. Here is the full terminal output: $ 0p_000_autorebase.dash Updating package information in /var/cache/rebase/rebase_pkg. Updating rebase information for installed dynamic objects in /var/cache/rebase/rebase_lst. /bin/rebaselst: 211: /bin/rebaselst: cannot create /var/cache/rebase/rebase_lst: Permission denied Updating rebase information for installed executables in /var/cache/rebase/rebase_exe. /bin/rebaselst: 197: /bin/rebaselst: cannot create /var/cache/rebase/rebase_exe: Permission denied removing /var/cache/rebase/rebase_dyn rm: remove write-protected regular file '/var/cache/rebase/rebase_dyn'? As you can see a number of files are created read only and cause a number of failures. regards, Patrick -- Patrick Mackinlay patr...@spacesurfer.com http://patrick.spacesurfer.com/ tel: +44.7050699851 Yahoo messenger: patrick00_uk fax: +44.7050699852 SpaceReg Limited http://www.spacereg.com/
