I want to flag the following problems observed with the current snapshot
20061023 08:34:32.

A few days ago, it was flagged a problem with XDVI:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00591.html.

>From the discussion of the thread (and also this
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00714.html), it comes out that the
cause was the conflict between the packages ghostscript and
ghostscript-x11.

I solved that problem with the link gs.exe --> /usr/X11R6/bin/gs.exe in
/bin (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00595.html).

Now trying the new Cygwin snapshot the trick does not work any more and
ONLY reinstalling Cygwin 1.5.21-2 it works again. It seems that the new
snapshot breaks ghostscript-x11.

I have all Cygwin installed and updated without services running. I have
installed the following test packages:

bash-3.2-3
readline/libreadline6-5.2-2
GCC-3.4.4-2


Cheers,

   Angelo.
