Re: hacked package on server

Are you able to actually describe "strange behaviour"

It crashed the setup program, which seemed to indicate it was installing strangely named files. It also corrupted the cygwin package directory. I could not run the setup program again even using a different mirror until I cleaned out the file /etc/setup/vim.lst.gz. Your evidence seems to indicate that it is simple corruption rather than tampering. I am pleased to see that.
