apt-cyg fails with /setup.ini: Scheme missing message

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Previously apt-cyg worked without problems, today I get this error:

$ LANG=C apt-cyg update
Working directory is /setup
Mirror is
/setup.bz2: Scheme missing.
/setup.ini: Scheme missing.
Error updating setup.ini, reverting
$

Here some informations:

$ apt-cyg --version
apt-cyg version 0.57
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 PcMorgan-PC 1.7.20(0.266/5/3) 2013-06-07 11:11 i686 Cygwin

• Merged into: "apt-cyg install unzip" fails #21

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As of 2013-08-08 support for setup.exe has been dropped.
The location of setup.ini has been changed to reflect x86 and x86_64 
installations.
You must use setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe instead for installing or 
updating.

As a result, apt-cyg is now broken

In the getsetup() function beginning on line 92 it attempts to wget setup info 
in 2 places.

Line #98 - wget -N $mirror/setup.bz2
Line #105 - wget -N $mirror/setup.ini

These paths need to be changed to reflect the new location of the setup files.

Line #98 - wget -N $mirror/x86/setup.bz2
Line #105 - wget -N $mirror/x86/setup.ini

or (untested)

Line #98 - wget -N $mirror/x86_64/setup.bz2
Line #105 - wget -N $mirror/x86_64/setup.ini

Notes:
0> I too am running apt-cyg version 0.57
1> apt-cyg is a bash script file so you can easily change it with any text 
editor (no need to compile).
2> I replaced setup.exe with setup-x86.exe since the path to cygwin's root 
directory was the same and when I tried setup-x86_64 it showed a different path.
3> This is the reason I selected the /x86/ path (that worked).
4> I have not tried the /x86_64/ path but perhaps if you install using 
setup-x86_64.exe you should use the /x86_64/ path to setup.XXX
5> I got these paths by watching setup-x86.exe as it loaded setup.ini

I have tested using:
Line #98 - wget -N $mirror/x86_64/setup.bz2
Line #105 - wget -N $mirror/x86_64/setup.ini

and it works.

I have verified the fix on my end as well, thanks for figuring this out!

Line #98 - wget -N $mirror/x86_64/setup.bz2
Line #105 - wget -N $mirror/x86_64/setup.ini

i had 2 problems with apt-cyg:
1) error updating setup.ini
2) tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

for problem 1):
see: http://code.google.com/p/apt-cyg/issues/detail?id=23
solution:
  wget http://apt-cyg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/apt-cyg
  sed -e 's%wget -N \$mirror/%&x86/%' -i apt-cyg #http://code.google.com/p/apt-cyg/issues/detail?id=23




then for problem 2), i wrote a patch.
if you need to install patch.exe, do this first: 
/cygdrive/c/utils/cygwin32/setup-x86.exe -P 
wget,tar,qawk,bzip2,subversion,vim,patch
then apply my patch like this (just copy paste in the terminal):
patch -p0 <<"EOF"

     gzip -f "/etc/setup/$pkg.lst"
     cd ../..

EOF


and finally install the patched apt-cyg:
  chmod +x apt-cyg
  mv -vi apt-cyg /usr/local/bin/
