I have been doing setup updates for a few weeks with the error as shown in the following paragraph.

Package: Unknown package
	gnome-icon-theme.sh exit code 127
	hicolor-icon-theme.sh exit code 127

I finally decided to quit procrastinating and figure out what is going on.  I checked in /etc/postinstall and found the gnome-
icon-theme.sh and hicolor-icon-theme.sh scripts still exist (i.e. they are not renamed with ".done" appended).

I opened both scripts and found they reference "/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache.exe".  There is no /usr/bin directory on my
system.  I did find /bin/gtk-update-icon-cache.exe exists.

Two possibilities come to mind.  The /bin directory should be copied (or linked, or remamed) to the /usr/bin directory by
setup, or the setup scripts are referencing an invalid location and should be corrected.

Please provide directions on the correct way to resolve this /bin .vs. /usr/bin issue.  I have included my cygcheck.out file as
directed.

Is not an issue. Cygwin automatically mount /bin on /usr/bin


From bash try
$ ls /bin
$ ls /usr/bin

you will see the exact same list.

About the 127 issue

$ cd /etc/postinstall
$ . ./gnome-icon-theme.sh
gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully.

$ echo $?
0

If it works, than you can

$ mv gnome-icon-theme.sh gnome-icon-theme.sh.done

same for the other


Sincerely,


Brian S. Wilson
