	Usually do, but it doesn't copy/paste.  It was a standard
error where it says it is in use or some other error occurred.

	I looked for the file and it wasn't there, so "some other error
occurred".  Told me to try stopping all cygwin processes, but that 
didn't help either -- so the normal things one might do, didn't work,
which is why went to tracing it.

	Looking at the log, for that package, the errors said:

2018/04/27 07:54:11 Failed to make the path for cygfile:///llvm-objdump.exe.stackdump
2018/04/27 07:57:20 Failed to make the path for cygfile:///llvm-objdump.exe.stackdump.new
2018/04/27 07:57:20 Unable to install file cygfile:///llvm-objdump.exe.stackdump.new

Which is what I pretty much said from info in the trace.  It's trying
to make the first element in the path 'C:', which fails.  There
were no other explicit errors in the log, BUT, I'd consider
this a *bit* of inefficiency, at least:

1) why is it running postinstall scripts for unrelated packages.
The only pkg that was tried for install was compiler-rt-5.0.1-1 which
comes up every time (guess it never gets marked as complete).

But if that's they only package, why are all those updates being
installed?  Isn't there a way of not running them unless 
a package requires those post-scripts?

yeah... sorta got that, though apparently that type of error
seems to mark the package as "not being installed"...so
it gets reinstalled each time (not a big deal, but just
thought I'd mention it).
