I've just performed a long-overdue update of both my 32-bit and 64-bit Cygwin installations on one of my machines, and the mandb postinstall step appeared to hang. Specifically, I left it running for over half an hour, and according to Process Explorer, it was maxing out one of my CPU threads for that time. I eventually killed mandb.exe from Process Explorer, at which point the setup process appeared to complete without further issue. On 32-bit Cygwin, for comparison, the mandb postinstall phase took a long time but eventually completed. The setup.full.log file includes the following output; attaching the full 4.3 MB file got my email blocked as spam, so I've uploaded it if you want to check[0]. /usr/bin/mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/csh.1 is a dangling symlink /usr/bin/mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/escp2topbm.1.gz: whatis parse for escp2topbm(1) failed /usr/bin/mandb: can't open /usr/share/man/man1/pdftex.1: No such file or directory /usr/bin/mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/pdflatex.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request [0]: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/me-and/09a0292ca098cfd7705b/raw/setup.log.full I've attached the results of `cygcheck -srv` run from the 64-bit terminal shortly after the setup completed. Running `mandb -c` manually from the terminal produced some similar errors, but completed with stdout and stderr per the attached mandb.stdout and mandb.stderr. I then re-ran setup-x86_64.exe and selected to reinstall man-db. Again, the man-db postinstall script took a long time, but it completed successfully on this run. Given the second run was successful, I suspect this isn't a particular priority to investigate, but I wanted to report in case there was any useful information here.
