Re: Setup of texlive-collection-basic waits in postinstall/0p_texlive_prep.dash

The command "/usr/bin/rebase-trigger full" does not help. The subsequent
cygwin Setup spends more time doing 0p_000_autorebase.dash but then
again 0p_texlive_prep.dash blocks and new /var/log/setup.log.runXa*
appears with the same info about Util.dll and Cwd.dll.

I have often found that rebasing doesn't immediately fix fork failures until I reboot. (My guess is that this is due to some kind of caching that Windows does.) I suggest that you try the following:

1. Run /usr/bin/rebase-trigger full again.

2. Reboot.

3. Make sure there are no Cygwin processes running. (Don't forget about services.)

4. Rerun setup, and don't refuse any suggested dependencies. Be sure to install or reinstall texlive-collection-basic, whether or not setup suggests it.

If you still have problems and have to write again, please attach cygcheck output as requested here:
