I tried to perform a clean Cygwin installation and encountered a
problem with package versions.
Steps
-
1. Download setup.exe.
2. Run it.
3. At "Cygwin Net Release Setup Program", click next.
3. Choose "Install From Internet". Click next.
4. Pick a root directory. Click next.
5. Pick a local
.0-1
mingw64-x86_64-expat-2.1.1-2
mingw64-x86_64-expat-2.2.0-1
Previous versions have both static (libexpat.a) and shared versions
(libexpat.dll.a).
Current versions do not have static versions; only shared.
Is it an oversight or are there some reasons for the lack of it?
Thanks for your help.

'chmod -R 755 /', or even by using Windows specific (non-Cygwin) tools
like icacls.exe, or by using the Windows Explorer. Is there a way to
restore the proper permissions to the Cygwin tree other than a
reinstall.
Thanks for your help.

Then, wait for confirmations for (2). You can always patch again if a
confirmation emerges - it is never too late. If no answer comes up,
at least the bug doesn't stay forever.

Hi,
The issue isn't missing, not-installed packages. The issues are (1)
some function declaration seem wrong; and (2) a constant is missing.
Thanks.

(wanted to save a bit of external bandwidth versus running the
installer again, also had a lot of custom stuff under /usr/local and
so forth). X works fine. I can't get sshd to work (started as a
daemon it would present a host k
