This is the third time this has happened in the past week or so. To make a long story short, c:\cygwin\usr\share\doc suddenly disappears.
I've uninstalled Cygwin twice. Both times c:\cygwin\dev\nul couldn't be deleted even though it was a 0-length file. The first time I just ignored it along with something else that couldn't be deleted though I've forgotten what. The second time our PC maintenance man used an Ubuntu live CD to delete that and everything else in c:\cygwin.
This time, as always, I installed first the base files. Everything worked fine and the cygcheck -srv output showed no errors. Then I installed everything else. Setup.exe said there were 5 possible errors: boxes, brltty, libglade2.0.0, exim and mined. I ran cygcheck (the one attached in cygcheck2.out) and it flagged 4 incomplete packages: apache, jadetex, mutt and tetex-bin. I began recreating my $HOME directory and compiling a package I need when I noticed that something, I forget what, was missing in /usr/share. Checking for /usr/share/doc and finding it too missing I did a cygcheck -srv > cygcheck3.out (the 6 MB one I can't send) and am writing here.
If you compare the two cygcheck outputs you can see that /usr/share/doc used to be here but isn't.
Before this latest reinstall I did a full scan using Symantec Endpoint protection. It found a cookie tracker it didn't like but nothing else. I have two scripts in ~/bin that replace regular commands but I looked at them and nothing has stuck in anything nefarious.
I would think perhaps a virus stored outside of Cygwin is doing this but Endpoint Protection didn't find anything. Anybody got any ideas?
