problem installing Cygwin/X - usr\X11R6\bin\X.exe - Symbolic link points to missing file

[Fabio Silva]

hi there,
I'm trying to install cygwin (actually Cygwin/X), I downloaded the latested cygwin installer, and I'm trying to install X11 packages, some files are installed but some files are surelly missing (for instance, I select to install X-startup-scripts-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2, but after the installation I still don't have a /usr/X11R6/bin directory)... well, I decided to download the packages locallly and open them to see if something was wrong, and I found that in the file xorg-x11-bin-6.8.99.901-1.tar.bz2, there is an entry called X.exe with 0 bytes... actually I think this is a symbolic link because when I try to extract it, I get an error like this:
 
!   C:\cyginstall\http%3a%2f%2fmirror.anl.gov%2fpub%2fcygwin%2f\release\X11\xorg-x11-bin\xorg-x11-bin-6.8.99.901-1.tar.bz2: Cannot open XWin.exe (usr\X11R6\bin\X.exe --> XWin.exe)
!   C:\cyginstall\http%3a%2f%2fmirror.anl.gov%2fpub%2fcygwin%2f\release\X11\xorg-x11-bin\xorg- x11-bin-6.8.99.901-1.tar.bz2: Symbolic link points to missing file
 
any idea of what's wrong?
 
best regards,
Fabio.
