Re: New setup.exe - unhandled exception more problem packages

Hi all:

In an earlier email I sent in the details on an unhandled exception
that I received while trying up update some packages. It originally
occurred with the package:

pkgs/http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.rcn.net%2fpub%2fsourceware%2fcygwin/release/cmake/cmake-1.8.3-1.tar.bz2.bad

The following packages/tarballs (without the .bad extention) also had
to be moved aside to allow the installer to complete and permit
package selection.

I managed to get one download successfully after moving the packages
aside. Now when I try to install from a local directory,
I am pulling the same error from:

pkgs/http%3a%2f%2fmirror.mcs.anl.gov%2fcygwin/release/doxygen/doxygen-1.2.18-1.tar.bz2

Setup's been rather lax at reporting wrong-sized files (i.e not equal to that specified in setup.ini). I fixed that, causing the errors you saw. I've suppressed that again in the new snapshot, and will aim for a more friendly way of reporting them in a future setup version.


Also the funny thing is that the log file in pkgs/setup.log is not
being updated when I do a local directory install.

Expected behaviour (and has been the same for years). See /var/log/setup.log

Max.
