Cygwin packages missing in setup, shows ? instead, crashes.

WTF. Every single mirror either doesn't show these vital packages, or shows ? which crashes when you click it.

Even wget is missing from Web on half the mirrors. Even in the official Cygwin repository, these folders are empty on the server?? Someone hacked the main repo and all the official mirrors updated to the missing packages??? My PSPSDK is broken now cos I tried to update it and Cygwin.

System restore back (if you're in Windows) are uninstall the PSPSDK and start again.

I'd rather start from scratch all over again than install CYGWIN.

Just make sure you backup your libs and include files.

I've deleted the whole thing. These packages seem to be missing from all the mirrors everywhere. Even directly browsing to the package folders in the mirror website just show empty folders for many of them (the question mark ones).

The weird thing is I setup a fresh installation of Windows in a VM and ran it from there and its the same problem!!!

I get a feeling something screwed up on the Cygwin main repo and all the sites have updated their mirrors accordingly.

Google cache from a few days back, shows that these folders contained the packages, but they are 404 now & the folders are empty in the main repo.

Has no one noticed by now!!!??!!

Strange....
Anyway use a w32like sdk on win...
Cygwin it's only a big packet that is obsolete if you use it only for the psp sdk...

After manually download 173 packages completely missing from the setup, I've finally got it working.

EDIT: Just as I thought, something screwed up on the main repo and it propagated to all the mirrors.
