With the current setup.ini (20060730 15:00, size 569848) I have the

------------------------------------------------
Fatal error: Uncaught Exception
Thread: Dialogproc
Type: 9Exception
Message: Package validation failure for
file://C:\cygwin\home\angelo\.....\cygwin/release/postgresql/postgresql-client/postgresql-client-8.0.7-1.tar.bz2
AppErrNo:1
------------------------------------------------
I am using setup.exe 2.510.2.2 (i.e. the current setup.exe).
Oh my, now I see.
I've tested it with setup 2.529, that's why it didn't crash for me.
I am using the same file of setup.exe since it was released whithout
problems until today.
This is due to a 0-length file used for an empty package. As far as I
know, this has already been fixed on sourceware.org, and should propagate
to the mirrors soon. You might want to go and physically delete the
offending file from your system, as well as clear the IE cache, to pick up
the fixed version.
Yes, it's already fixed by cgf and should be on the mirrors.
FWIW, a newer setup snapshot (see <http://cygwin.com/setup/snapshots/>)
did not crash in this situation.
