Dear Cyhwin Users and Team,
since a while I have issues removing cygwin installations, especially
the symlinks to true type fonts in /usr/share/fonts/microsoft.
Looking at these links with Windows tools I get:
C:\bin\cygwin\usr\share\fonts\microsoft>fsutil reparsepoint query

Dear Cygwin Team,
as far as I can tell the package "python" which drags in some python and
creates a symlink like
/usr/bin/python -> python2.7.exe
has been removed recently (in the last 3 days or so) from the default
package selection. This has the effect that calls to just "python" fail.

Dear Cygwin Team,
sorry - I was too quick. Actually the packages are the other way around:
New is:
python python-2.7.18-1.tar.bz2 0
python-pip-wheel python-pip-wheel-19.2.3-1.tar.bz2 0
python-setuptools-wheel python-setuptools-wheel-41.2.0-1.tar.bz2 0
python2 python2-2.7.18-2.tar.bz2 0
python27
Adding to the note by Lem regarding a missing dependency of curl since
this update, I want to note that in a standard installation of cygwin
curl fails since this update with:
the following programs are not installed properly:
curl curl

very likely quite a few of the MinGW shared libraries supplied by cygwin
are missing - you need to copy these as well. You can use the `ldd` tool
on the .exe and the .dll to find out which these are. You need to copy

Hi José,
did you try copying the MinGW DLLs as I suggested?
You find them in folder
"\usr\x86_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\bin" and as I said
"ldd" will tell you which ones you need. As a test you can also simply
copy all of them to your bin folder, but it might be many (I have 85

Yes, I did. I think you missed one of my emails. But, here is what I did:

Dear Cygwin Team,
my daily CI of Coq Platform indicates that this update:
libassuan0-2.5.5-1 -> libassuan0-2.5.6-1
libgpg-error0-1.47-1 -> libgpg-error0-1.37-1
breaks Opam, the OCaml package manager, via a failed call to curl as can
be seen by executing these commands:

Dear Cygwin Team & Users,
Looks like this problem converges on the libgpg-error update, gpg2 also
segfaults with this library installed.
I can confirm that just downgrading:
libgpg-error0-1.47-1 -> libgpg-error0-1.37-1
and keeping the update of libassuan0:
libassuan0-2.5.5-1 -> libass
Hi Marco,
I just rolled back the libgpg-error0 as fast term solution,
it will need some hours to propagate to the various mirrors
thank you for the quick action! I can confirm that our nightly Windows
CI with latest cygwin runs through fine again.
Sorry for the inconvenience

Hi Jon,
Thanks for reporting this.
For the time being, I've reverted the URL to point to the previous
32-bit build, while I investigate.
Thanks for the quick action! I can confirm that this fixed my CI (at
least it starts to install Cygwin).
Best regards,

Dear Cygwin Team,
is there an update on this? Apparently tar is broken on Cygwin 32 since
the latest update (it works fine on 64 bit Cygwin) and afaik there is no
way to install specific package versions from the command line as would
be possible via the Setup UI, so I can't easily roll back t
Hi Achim,
I have some evidence that this update leads to random assembler errors.
I have 3 CI failures (out of 5 runs) since the update in an open source
project I maintain. The failure is always an error from the MinGW 64
assembler and the errors are random - that is if I rerun the same CI

An update on this:
I reverted to the previous version of MinGW 64 binutils in our CI and
didn't have issues since then.

Dear Cygwin Team,
I just wanted to confirm that I haven't seen issues with recent test
releases. But the test versions change to fast to say conclusively that
each of the versions are OK.
The last version for which I did see failures was:

Dear Cygwin Team,
I now had 12 successful CI runs in a row using the test version of
cygwin (installed with setup -t). Since it failed about 60% before, this
is strong evidence that this issue is fixed by the test release.
IMHO the test release should be officially released asap.
Thanks & be
Dear Cygwin Team,
apparently there was a change in the test release (what I get when I run
cygwin setup with --allow-test-packages) in the last few days. With the
latest test release I see CI failures again with the same effect - make
just hangs after finished builds.

Indeed this is also my preference - if it can be fixed soon (say this week).

Hi Takashi,
somehow I have bi directional spam-filter issues with the cygwin mailing
list, so I didn't see your mail up to now.
I added --allow-test-packages to the cygwin setup calls in my CI and
report on the statistics tomorrow.
Thanks & best regards,

Hi Takashi,
I had issues with email and saw your post only today. I switched to a
different email now.
I got meanwhile 4 successful CI runs with cygwin setup with -t. The same
runs fail with about 60% probability without -t, so that there is about
a 40% ^ 4 = 2.6% chance left that this is a
