Summary: Cygwin 1.7.6 installer crashes at start of postinstall Product: Wine Version: 1.3.0 Platform: x86 URL: http://cygwin.com OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, Installer Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Running the cygwin installer with today's git in a clean .wine aborts when it gets to the postinstall stage:
...

(bug 21424 seems to still be there, too, if you forge ahead and run bash despite postinstall not having run.)
This is a dogfood bug. I was going to try to run gcj in cygwin to look at some other wine bug, but curses! I was foiled.
