Re: Cygwin 1.7.17 breaks unattended setup

I have a script automates installing and setting up sshd using cygwin.
It first downloads the latest setup.exe then runs the following:

setup.exe  -q -s ftp://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/cygwin/cygwin/ --no-verify -R c:\cygwin
c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c "/bin/mkpasswd | sed 's/Administrator:unused:500:513/root:unused:0:544/g' | sed 's/:513:/:545:/' > /etc/passwd"
c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c "/bin/mkgroup -l > /etc/group"
setup.exe  -q -s ftp://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/cygwin/cygwin/ --no-verify -R c:\cygwin -P cygrunsrv
setup.exe  -q -s ftp://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/cygwin/cygwin/ --no-verify -R c:\cygwin -P openssh
c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c "/bin/ssh-host-config -y --pwd ***"
sc.exe failure sshd reset=0 actions=restart/0/restart/0/restart/0
net start sshd

This was working great last week, but on the 20th it stopped working.


It fails on the line installing cygrunsrv, if I run setup.exe in
interactive mode, I can install cygrunsrv just fine. Then the script
fails to install openssh in the same way. Again a manual install works
fine. I've tried different mirrors to no avail.

Your problem is not with Cygwin 1.7.17. That package wouldn't come into play until the postinstall scripts. Your log shows you don't get that far. And if it works interactively, then the problem is with 'setup.exe' itself. I can reproduce the problem but don't know why it's happening. There hasn't been a new version of 'setup.exe' in quite a while so I can't explain why you would just start seeing the problem within the last week.
