Andrew,

No, I have not executed rebaseall. The reason is, that I have 
"reinstalled"
Cygwin twice now, starting with an empty repo and an empty root 
directory.

The 1st time I downloaded the base packages from the Twente mirror, the 
2nd
time I downloaded the base packages from the Dresden mirror.

I used setup to download the packages; I used setup to install them.

Especially the 2nd time I carefully examined every action I took.

However, in both cases the result was the same.

I cannot imagine one has to execute 'rebaseall' after having installed
Cygwin from scratch.
