Bash-3.0-...11 and postinstall

- Subject: Bash-3.0-...11 and postinstall
>From the mailing list it seems that after upgrading Bash-3.0-10,11, the
postinstall (00bash.sh) should copy bash.exe to sh.exe.
This happened with previous version (3.0-7 or 3.0-8) but not with the more
recent, 3.01-10 and the last 3.0-11.
For example:
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(11)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
$ sh --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(10)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
So I copy manually or (with the last, 3.0-11) rerun
$ /etc/postinstall/00bash.sh.done
from the standard bash shell (the link on Desktop)
I always install CYGWIN after a reboot, i.e.
REBOOT
Start/Run/setup.exe
without any CYGWIN processes running.
Is it possible to fix that postinstall script?
Why rerunning the postinstall from bash, it works?
The user that does not frequently follow the mailing list, perhaps, does
not know that one should manually copy bash.exe to sh.exe.
Best regards,
Angelo.
