Some Cygwin programs are failing even after reboots, re-installing the faulty program, and the customary automatic rebasing (e.g. 'dig', Line 1 below) after a recent update:
Some cygwin64 packages were installed (see line 17 below (even though I am running *32* bit cygwin, installed using setup-*x86*.exe: After the existing setup warned me that there was a newer one, I downloaded this one before continuing with the update. 08/23/2017 04:10 PM 871,955 setup-x86.exe 9afd6a83bbb7dbb55805ab113e1e618e *setup-x86.exe Lines 1 - 9: After the update I noticed that 'dig' wasn't working properly (even after a reboot, and a reinstall of the bind-utils package, and the automatic rebase invoked by 'setup'.) Lines 12 - 17: cygcheck showed the following note about a missing (64 bit?) cygwin DLL. Line 17 especially, why is there an 'x86_64' reference on a cygwin 32 bit install? Lines 20 - 29 show a number of cygwin64 references, 108 to be exact on Line 29: Line 33 is additional evidence that this is the 32 bit setup program: Lines 36 - 44 show more info about the setup.ini file. 1 dig +short -x 127.0.0.1 2 0 [main] dig (4552) C:\cygwin\bin\dig.exe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x612E8408/0xBA8408. 3 This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL. 4 Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility 5 and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should* 6 reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have 7 installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you 8 are unable to find another cygwin DLL. 9 Segmentation fault 10 11 12 grep "cygwin1\.dll" /var/kchristian/cygcheck/cygcheck_s_r_v_20170823_165156 13 3373k 2017/07/12 C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0 14 "cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2017-07-12 09:53 15 3373k 2017/07/12 C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0 16 "cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2017-07-12 09:53 17 Missing file: /usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/bin/cygwin1.dll from package cygwin64 18 19 20 grep -n cygwin64 /etc/setup/installed.db 21 543:cygwin64 cygwin64-2.6.0-1.tar.bz2 1 22 544:cygwin64-binutils cygwin64-binutils-2.25-1.tar.bz2 0 23 545:cygwin64-binutils-debuginfo cygwin64-binutils-debuginfo-2.25-1.tar.bz2 1 24 546:cygwin64-bzip2 cygwin64-bzip2-1.0.6-2.tar.bz2 0 25 547:cygwin64-catgets cygwin64-catgets-1.1-2.tar.bz2 1 26 27 28 grep -cw cygwin64 "http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirror.constant.com%2f/x86/setup.ini" 29 108 30 31 32 ls -l "http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirror.constant.com%2f/x86/setup.ini" 33 -rwx------+ 1 keith Domain Users 10666707 Aug 23 16:10 http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirror.constant.com%2f/x86/setup.ini 34 35 36 head "http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirror.constant.com%2f/x86/setup.ini" 37 # This file was automatically generated at 2017-08-22 00:14:06 UTC. 38 # 39 # If you edit it, your edits will be discarded next time the file is 40 # generated.
