Problem Updating using cygwin.exe



This note reports my problem in updating cygwin January 5, 2010. I chose to update cygwin because of problems
with spawning Xterm windows from a remote login to our main computer. I can run some CAD sW ( Cadence ) and not others "nedit" remotely. Window appears but when a the focus is on the new Xterm window and I enter any kb letter the window disappears. In any event the problem I am currently reporing concerns updating cygwin.


Please find: Problem description and attempts to solve it, Setup.log.full and excerpts setup.log for
12/22/09 successful first install and 1/5/10 unsuccessful install. - Thanks Mitch Newcomer
