Dear Cygwin Community,
Since I recently reinstalled Cygwin from Win7 to a clean Win10
machine, I have not been able to get around setup complaining
about the following postinstall script error:
Package: z/Perpetual
zp_shared-mime-info.sh exit code 1
The given package, "z/Perpetual", is misleading as the
referenced shell script is in package shared-mime-info.
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=zp_shared-mime-info.sh&arch=x86_64
I am running setup "as administrator".
Checking setup.log.full, I see:
2017/09/28 13:22:16 running: C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/zp_shared-mime-info.sh"
I/O error : Permission denied
I/O error : Permission denied
Failed to write XML file; For permission problems, try rerunning as root
2017/09/28 13:22:26 abnormal exit: exit code=1
2017/09/28 13:22:26 Changing gid to Administrators
2017/09/28 13:22:34 note: Installation Complete
2017/09/28 13:22:34 Ending cygwin install
It doesn't give me the pathname of the XML file, so don't know
where to look for permissions issues, not that I understand
Windows permissions anyway. Don't know how to rerun "as root".
(As I said, I'm running "as administrator".)
I checked BLODA and, indeed, we are running McAfee here, and I
have no say in that matter. Still, I had no BLODA problems with
Win7, so wondering if there's some Win10 thing that can resolve
this.

The other curious thing is that the shared-mime-info package is
categorized under X11, which I'm not using, but if I uninstall
it, setup complains that it is required by libglib2.0_0.
