Hi,

I just updated my cygwin installation and it looks like my old python2.5 
installation has been corrupted? /usr/python2.6 has all the usual 
packages but /usr/lib/python2.5 is missing everything. I have attached 
my latest cygcheck -s -v -r output and the corresponding setup.log.full 
from my update. A sample run of commands showing the problem follows. 
Any ideas?

$ ls /usr/lib/python2.5
lib-dynload/

$ python2.5 -v
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
# installing zipimport hook
import zipimport # builtin
# installed zipimport hook
