Carlo,
What did you do, exactly, on the last setup run? The log file shows that
you installed the following packages:
startup-notification-0.7-1
transfig-3.2.4-2
xorg-x11-bin-dlls-6.8.1.0-1
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.1.0-1
xorg-x11-fcyr-6.8.1.0-2
xorg-x11-fenc-6.8.1.0-2
xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0-2
xorg-x11-fsrv-6.8.1.0-1
xorg-x11-libs-data-6.7.0.0-3
xorg-x11-man-pages-html-6.8.1.0-1
xorg-x11-nest-6.8.1.0-1
xorg-x11-vfb-6.8.1.0-1
(which means you've downgraded xorg-x11-lib-data). It also shows that the
following postinstall scripts ran:
xorg-x11-devel.sh
xorg-x11-f100.sh
xorg-x11-fcyr.sh
xorg-x11-fenc.sh
xorg-x11-fnts.sh
xorg-x11-fscl.sh
xorg-x11-libs-data.sh
xorg-x11-xwin.sh
which is odd, since you didn't reinstall xorg-x11-xwin or xorg-x11-f100 or
xorg-x11-fnts. The previous run clearly shows setup installing
xorg-x11-f100 and running the postinstall script for that package, so it
should have renamed it to .done and not re-run it.
Hmm, the fact that it attempts to reinstall packages, coupled with the
fact that it's not renaming postinstall scripts properly, makes me wonder
whether your Cygwin directory tree is writable by the user that performs
the install. This would also be consistent with the "Cannot open
c:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log for writing" message that others reported.
