Setup of texlive-collection-basic waits in postinstall/0p_texlive_prep.dash

[Pavel Kudrna]

Hi,
I have problem installing texlive-collection-basic on 32bit XP. It is 
not fresh install.

If I select texlive only the Cygwin Setup finishes successfully, 
/var/log/setup.log shows

Newertheless in /etc/postinstall files I see files

0p_000_autorebase.dash
0p_update-info-dir.dash
0p_texlive_prep.dash
zp_texlive_finish.dash

without .done suffix. Is it already symptom of problem?


The main problem is installing texlive-collection-basic. Setup waits at 
/etc/postinstall/0p_texlive_prep.dash while
in /var/log the file setup.log.runXa03548 grows by repeating lines

       2 [main] perl 3928 child_info_fork::abort: unable to remap 
Util.dll to same address as parent (0x6F0000) - try running rebaseall
Can't fork, trying again in 5 seconds at 
/usr/share/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 228.
       1 [main] perl 2520 child_info_fork::abort: unable to remap 
Cwd.dll to same address as parent (0x6C0000) - try running rebaseall
Can't fork, trying again in 5 seconds at 
/usr/share/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 228.

If I stop Cygwin Setup using Cancel and then confirm by Yes button the 
/var/log/setup.log shows

with surprising "Instalation complete".

But there are still perl and dash processes running which I have to stop.

The command "/usr/bin/rebase-trigger full" does not help. The subsequent 
cygwin Setup spends more time doing 0p_000_autorebase.dash but then 
again 0p_texlive_prep.dash blocks and new /var/log/setup.log.runXa* 
appears with the same info about Util.dll and Cwd.dll.

How to correct it?
