"[earlier this year] I reported that setup.exe cannot unpack the tar.bz2
created by 7zip. Today I can extend that lack of success to also
include gnuwin32's bzip2. Surprisingly I'm pretty sure cygwin's own
bzip2 also doesn't work though I didn't test this last on completely
because I was tired of up/dnloading the same file over and over again.
When I diff'd gnuwin32 and cygwin's output, the files were exactly the
same.
In the end I worked around the problem by uploading the non-working
package to upload.osgeo.org, opening a remote shell on same, and
unpacking & repacking using the tar & bzip2 on that machine.
I found one other report of problems with 7zip and cygwin setup, but
no illumination:
