Following an update of the packages I have installed, multiple programs are
failing silently when executed from the shell, especially "man" and "wget".
If I run them under strace, I get a pop-up window stating "The procedure
entry mbrtoc32 could not be located in the dynamic link library ..." For
man the library is "cygman-2-12-1.dll". For wget the library is "wget.exe".
I assume this means that something didn't update properly and that
reinstalling one package would solve, but I don't see any indication in the
logs of a failure. I'd rather not reinstall everything to fix the problem,
if possible.
Any thoughts on how where I should look?
Caveat: I am far from expert on this ...
Your cygcheck.out does not list a man.exe or wget.exe. I am not sure how
the strace got as far as it did. But I suggest reinstalling those two
programs. Not sure how those exe's got zapped. Maybe an installation
upgrade did not complete properly ...
