I saw the same behavior today on two machines. I believe there is something
broken in setup's dependencies. I did a fresh install without selecting any
packages and let setup install just the basics. After the first run of
setup, running "less" popped up an error complaining about cygpcre-0.dll not
being found.
I ran setup a second time, again without selecting any packages, and on the
second pass, setup installed two more packages - libbz2_1 and libpcre0.
This corrected the issue with less.
I don't know enough about setup and how it decides which packages to
install, but I don't think this behavior is as intended. I'm attaching two
cygcheck output files (one after the first run of setup and one after the
second).
I repeated the process on a different mirror with the same results.
