Re: "ReBaseImage faled with last error = 6" for read-only files, too.
Thanks for your mail! I sometimes run into this problem and usually
that Âleads me sooner or later I to reinstall the complete cygwin.
Currently this is my biggest problem with cygwin, so I write to say
nothing more than that I really appreciate that you work on this
problem.

ÂThe advice you find if you google that error message (kill all cygwin processes and services, rebooting if necessary) will _not_ work if the problem is a file marked as read-only.

ÂIn the meantime, I figured having a mention of another possible cause of this problem could save someone else from fruitlessly rebooting their system into safe mode in a vain effort to make CPAN work.
