The issue is new since the new server, both cygcheck -p, and Cygwin Package Search which it invokes at https://cygwin.com/packages/..., worked fine previously, as the common specific search target was /usr/bin/... Is the new RHEL/Fedora/CentOS system you are using missing url{en,de}code, or the path to those, or something else invoked in package-grep.cgi? Maybe update https://sourceware.org/lists.html#what-software to document recent changes and https://sourceware.org/news.html to track issues and fixes. -- Take care.
