If setup has to replace an in-use file, it schedules its replacement after
reboot, but still marks the package installation as successful. This
leaves the old executable in-place until reboot.
The above is likely an indication that Cary updated cygrunsrv while some
service was running, and didn't reboot afterwards. So, the current
cygrunsrv *executable* is indeed too old to dump service info, even though
the newer package is installed. Rebooting should help here.

I'm not sure if the missing /bin/sh could be attributed to the same
problem, BTW.
