the problem. I install from my local directory which I keep current using
rsync.

Package Version Status
Missing file: /etc/Muttrc.setupnew from package mutt
Missing file: /etc/mime.types.setupnew from package mutt
mutt 1.5.20-1 Incomplete


Does this mean there is a 'mutt' packaging problem or ???

Check the postinstall script in /etc/postinstall (mutt.sh). It might move these files which will make cygcheck think they are missing.

The only entry in '/etc/postinstall' related to 'mutt' is 'mutt.sh.done' which, if I understand things correctly, means that mutt was installed ok.


I did a search on my entire cygwin installation and could not find either of the two missing files. The only place I can find them referenced is in 'mutt.lst.gz', which is just what 'cygcheck' uses to determine that 'mutt' is incomplete.
