Hang on.  Of course base-cygwin requires bash *and* coreutils since it
calls cat, mkdir and rm.

The setup.hint file of base-cygwin has a 

  requires: bash coreutils

line.  That's a recursion.  Won't the order in which the postinstall
files are running be pure coincidence?

Shouldn't the requires line be removed in base-cygwin to get this
working reliably?!?  Geeh, I'm getting headaches.
