Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] [1.7] Updated: cygwin-1.7.0-50

[Mark Harig <idirectscm at aim dot com>]

While running setup-1.7.exe (with no arguments) from a cygwin 1.5 bash
shell prompt, the following (error?) messages were displayed:

io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/installed.db) failed 2 No such file 
or directory
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-cache) failed 2 No such file or 
directory
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/timestamp) failed 2 No such file or 
directory
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/mirrors-lst) failed 2 No such file 
or directory

Are these messages expected?  Can they be safely ignored?
Are they documented somewhere for cygwin users?

I was not able to find a mention of them at
http://cygwin.com/1.7/faq/faq.setup.html or
http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html

Also, during the installation of the (default set of) packages, the 
following
error message was displayed:

running: C:\cygwin-1.7\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile -c 
/etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh
abnormal exit: exit code=-1073741819

I confirmed that all directories and files that 
/etc/postinstall/base-files-profiles.sh
creates or installs exist.

I re-ran setup-1.7.exe a second time (with no additional packages selected)
and found that none of the above messages were displayed.
