Cygwin supports 11000+ packages - please be specific in the subject and detailed
in the body - we do not know what you are doing with it - support is by busy
volunteers so if your subject does not contain a keyword they are responsible
for, it may be treated as junk and they may not even see your email.

Neither problem reporters nor maintainers may be native English speakers, and
even if they are, verbal descriptions of (selected, possibly insignificant)
problem symptoms are typically unhelpful, unless you have already diagnosed the
problem and are proposing a fix.

Please always show command lines and output with error messages or similarly
specific input and output, as attached logs or text copy and paste (into a log
file to be attached if long), not screenshots which will get your mail rejected
on these lists, and which are typically so low resolution, small, or the
graphics are so small they are indecipherable anyway.

Please read and follow:
