Incompatibility with cygwin 1.7 release

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install cygwin 1.7 with gnupg and patch
2. Download and unpack cyg-apt-1.0.7-1.tar.bz2
3. Download patch cyg-apt-fix-quote-parsing-in-setupini.patch
4. Applu patch: patch cyg-apt < cyg-apt-fix-quote-parsing-in-setupini.patch
5. ./install-cyg-apt.sh

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see this:
gpg: key 676041BA: "Cygwin <cygwin@cygwin.com>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1
cyg-apt: creating /home/User/.cyg-apt

  File "/usr/bin/cyg-apt", line 1581, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/cyg-apt", line 1533, in main
    cas.setup()
  File "/usr/bin/cyg-apt", line 152, in setup
    self.update(self.cyg_apt_rc)
TypeError: update() takes at least 3 arguments (2 given)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
cyg-apt 1.0.7-1
cygwin 1.7.1
python 2.5
windows XP Pro, SP3

Please provide any additional information below.
I think the problem lies in the fatc that it is assumed cygwin 1.7 is still
in beta.

Two different errors are occurring here.  The error reported by pwcazenave is 
due to 
the call os.environ['TMP'] throwing an exception.  The second, reported by the 
original 
reporter, is caused by looking for the file setup-2.ini when in cygwin 1.7.1 
the 
filename is actually just setup.ini.  They must have changed it back to 
setup.ini in 
between 1.7.0 and 1.7.1.

This error message caused by a non existing environment value.
Try to export TMP variable: $ export TMP=/tmp

I got issue the issue from the first post too. (kibris....@gmail.com)

Strangely enough, it runs, but I get the following error:

$ cyg-apt list
cyg-apt: downloading: http://cygwin.mirrors.hoobly.com/setup-2.bz2
cyg-apt: downloading: http://cygwin.mirrors.hoobly.com/setup-2.ini
cyg-apt: bad URL http://cygwin.mirrors.hoobly.com/setup-2.ini, exiting.

Please fix this if you can. At least work around somebody's server not having 
the rightly named ini file.

It looks like the filename isn't the only problem.  I think there should be a 
discovery mechanism in place for that instead of relying on hardcoded filenames 
(if that's going to change often), however, even after the right file is added 
it appears there are schema differences between the old setup.ini files and the 
new ones.
