Looking at what you sent I see at least two suspicious things:
1) SEVERAL orphaned Cygwin installations. This indicates you may have multiple installation of Cygwin in different places, and this can certainly lead to trouble. 2) A number of files missing from certain packages, which (at a glance) all seemed to be under /opt or /sbin. Did you happen to delete those hierarchies? Or is there some reason they could not be created? I am not quite as expert at figuring out this sort of problem as some others on the list, so I might be barking up the wrong tree, but these seem worthy of investigation. One way to fix things is to remove *all* Cygwin installations (see the installation mentioned in the cygcheck output) and reinstall Cygwin from scratch, paying attention if any files could not be created (the /opt and /sbin concern). There may be simpler fixes. And of course this does not rule out BLODA (badly behaving other programs that interfere with Cygwin's mechanisms - often anti-virus and similar tools).
