/usr/bin/cygcrypt-0.dll is provided by the libcrypt0 package.  Try  
reinstalling that.

Thanks. That did it. Wish there was an easier way to get the answer than  
going on the mailing list. Is there a command that can check what package  
a dll belongs to?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: diffutils-3.5-2

[Eric Blake (cygwin)]

A new release of diffutils, 3.5-2, has been uploaded and will soon reach
a mirror near you; leaving the previous version at 3.5-1.

NEWS:
=
This is a minor rebuild, mainly for the purpose of moving 'cmp' into the
Base category as part of the default Cygwin install (since cmp is one of
the fundamental POSIX utilities).

DESCRIPTION:

Diffutils includes four utilities: diff, cmp, diff3, and sdiff.  Diff
compares two files and shows the differences, line by line.  The cmp
command shows the offset and line numbers where two files differ, or cmp
can show the characters that differ between the two files.  The diff3
command shows the differences between three files.  Diff3 can be used
when two people have made independent changes to a common original;
diff3 can produce a merged file that contains both sets of changes and
warnings about conflicts.  The sdiff command can be used to merge two
files interactively.

UPDATE:
===
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'diffutils' in the 'Base' category (it should already be selected).

DOWNLOAD:
=
Note that downloads from cygwin.com aren't allowed due to bandwidth
limitations.  This means that you will need to find a mirror which has
this update, please choose the one nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

QUESTIONS:
==
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

Thanks for the reminder; I've finally found time to rectify it today.

Hi,

I'm working with my ISP to try to find why I get a 403 Forbidden return 
when I try to connect to the main website from my home, but I am able to 
connect from pretty much anywhere else.



IP Range: 69.12.250.(40..47)

Have I, for some reason, been blacklisted/blocked?

Thanks!

I've seen that error from my own bash scripts when I neglect to
enclose a variable in double-quotes before testing it, as

if [ $THIS = "That" ]; then

and when in some situation that variable is not set.  I would not
expect to see that error from the line

if [ "${_LC_SAVE_}" = "null" ]; then

because ${_LC_SAVE_} _is_ surrounded by double-quotes and so the
binary operator = will have operands on both sides.

However, profile_d is sourcing every .sh file in /etc/profile.d and
one or more of those files may not be enclosing some variable(s) in
double-quotes.  All of the .sh files in my /etc/profile.d handle
their variables correctly, so the error is probably in the
/etc/profile.d/.sh file of some package that I don't have
installed.

Regards,
Gary

Hello anyone,

It's defined in /etc/profile, shortly before the call to 'profile_d sh'. 
 The latter runs all the *.sh scripts in /etc/profile.d, with some 
fiddling to get locales right.



I'm getting the following errors from profile_d when /etc/profile
invokes  'profile_d sh':


-bash: [: too many arguments
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected

I'm guessing that these errors are generated by the line

  if [ "${_LC_SAVE_}" = "null" ]; then

in the definition of profile_d.  Is LC_ALL defined in your environment? 
Does it have spaces in it?

[PATCH setup] Strip symbols to setup.dbg

[Jon Turney]

As noted in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-11/msg00254.html debugging the
distributed setup executable is a lost cause at the moment.  Preserve
symbols so it's not quite as hopeless.

Note: to debug the distributed setup executable with gdb, it will be
necessary to decompress the setup executable with 'upx -d', and, if the .dbg
file has been renamed to match the renamed setup executable, explicitly load
it into gdb with the 'symbol-file' command.

profile_d

[Charlie Perkins]

Hello anyone,

Could someone tell me what profile_d does?

There doesn't seem to be a man page, info, or any way I can find out!

I'm getting the following errors from profile_d when /etc/profile 
invokes  'profile_d sh':



-bash: [: too many arguments
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: too many arguments
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected


Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Charlie P.

Re: Installer names not meaningful enough

The version is part of setup.ini in the header:
