This shows that it is actually a gzipped file. Setup knows what to do with both bzip2 and gzip formats, without relying on the extension being right. It is actually a gzipped empty tar file - the new gcc-core binary package (which is in the "Misc" group) seems to be a placeholder for the associated sources. -- Cliff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
