Hi-
While trying to update my installation of cygwin, I received
a "Can't open package Database for writing: file exists"
error. When I re-run setup, it downloads, tries to install
the updates again, and fails the same way.
When I run "cygcheck -c" i get the following:
Cygwin Package Information
No setup information found
Is there some easy way to rebuild this information?
I did have a cygwin shell open when I did the update,
could this be part of the problem?
I have also deleted, and moved around some of the tarballs
and "setup.log" files that past updates have created, surely
this isn't an issue though(right?).
