I will try the manual process you suggested after I figure out how to get the
snapshot and when it is available.
Bare in mind that I am using the broken environment to do this.
The fact that I could duplicate the problem means that I'm in the same
state as you.
I managed to extract the snapshot and replace the cygwin1.dll while not
running any cygwin apps. Restarting a shell seems to function as
before, uninitialized.
I then go to /etc/postinstall to find the scripts. They are all
suffixed with .done. Are these the scripts I should attempt to run?
Yes.
You need to do something like:
c:
cd \cygwin\etc
for %f in (*.done) do sh ./%f
OK, I have it fixed as follows:
1. Do clean install of cygwin-1.7 selecting bash one revision back.
2. Replace cygwin1.dll with the snapshot of today.
3. Start cygwin shell from desktop icon.
4. cd /etc/postinstall
5. PATH=/bin
6. for filename in ./*.done; do /bin/sh $filename; done;
7. exit
8. restart cygwin shell from desktop icon, all appears well.
Thanks Christopher and Dave for your help.
Best regards,
Jerry
