Yes, it does! You can't select part of the text and there's no visual feedback, but if you select the message box and type Ctrl-C, it works.

The mirror I use (mirrors.kernel.org) now has a setup.zst with a newer timestamp (1680869581) and without the stray backslashes. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

(I can't copy the text from the message box so I retyped it.) Protip: Ctrl-C should work on a message box. I re-downloaded setup-x86_64.exec, and it's identical to the one on my laptop. I'm using the mirrors.kernel.org mirror. The setup.zst from mirrors.dotsrc.org is identical. I decompressed setup.zst and I do see something suspicious on the indicated lines. Here's line 30182: build-depends: \, bison, cygport, dblatex, docbook2X, flex, gettext-devel, libGLU-devel, libcairo-devel, libcanberra-gtk-devel, libcurl-devel, libfreetype-devel, libglib2.0-devel, libgmp-devel, libgtk2.0-devel, libgtkglext1.0-devel, libpango1.0-devel, libpng-devel, libreadline-devel, libsqlite3-devel, libxslt, python3-devel, texinfo Line 30203 is similar. I don't see a lone backslash anywhere else in the file. Yeah, this is wrong. I need to investigate further why the mechanisms which should have caught this didn't. The setup.zst from mirrors.sonic.net does *not* have problematic build-depends lines. (Switching to a different mirror might be a workaround, but I haven't tried it yet.) The "bad" setup.zst has "setup-timestamp: 1680813730" (Thu 2023-04-06 20:42:10 UTC). The "good" setup.zst has "setup-timestamp: 1680795371" (Thu 2023-04-06 15:36:11 UTC). The bad one is about 5 hours newer than the good one. I'm concerned that the bad setup.zst might propagate to other mirrors. This is fixed as of setup-timestamp: 1680860048 Thanks very much for reporting this.

>> I'm concerned that the bad setup.zst might propagate to other mirrors. Yes, identical error arising at https://cygwin.mirror.uk.sargasso.net/x86_64/setup.zst and elsewhere. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
