cygwin setup version 2.909 not installing (silent mode) - bug or user error?

[Jason Pyeron]

If the last execution of the setup used download only and the setup is used with -q and without either -D or -L it still defaults to -D

 

Adding -Y does not change the behavior either.

 

Workaround was to launch setup, advance to “select download source”, select install, advance to next screen, abort, re-run silent install.

 

>From setup --help:

-D --download                     Download packages from internet only

-L --local-install                Install packages from local directory only

-Y --prune-install                Prune the installation to only the requested

                                   packages
