And this was exactly it. I downloaded the latest UPX version, and it crashed on startup. I downloaded the Linux version on another host, copied the setup program to that host and extracted it there. NOW I can update Cygwin...
I wonder if UPX compression of setup makes as much sense now as it did 20+ years ago.
Not only does it (occasionally) generate problems like this, but also with malware detection heuristics. OTOH, not using it would make setup ~4x larger. -- 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
