Greetings!
I had a problem installing "whois". "whois" was installed but there was
an error message..
The setup.log.full says:
-----snipped------

"/etc/postinstall/cygutils.sh"

2) Contents of /etc/postinstall/cygutils.sh:
$ cat cygutils.sh
/usr/bin/update-desktop-database
/usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
3) but
/usr/bin/update-desktop-database -- does not exist
(( there is a 'updatedb', though.)
and
/usr/bin/update-mime-database -- does not exist
other:
setup.exe version 2.774
