Today's update python39-imaging 11.1.0-1 appears to contain a weird and probably trivial packaging error. Under /lib/python3.9/site-packages/pillow-11.1.0.dist-info/ the two files METADATA and PKG-INFO.lnk are identical, and the 2nd is not a link. I deleted it and created the link $ ln -sf METADATA PKG-INFO to achieve lrwxrwxrwx 1 8 Mar 11 19:55 PKG-INFO -> METADATA which I hope was the right thing to do?
Interesting issue. I think it stems from me using the wimsymlinks:lnk option as documented at: https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html
I use this as a program I package up with Cygwin needs to be easily portable and installable, and I couldn't get this to work without that option. I don't think this should matter either way, but someone else feel free to chime in and correct me.
