Incorrect results from 'cygpath -w' when having anaconda installed

Incorrect results from 'cygpath -w' when having anaconda installed

[enrique]

Hello!

I am having incorrect results from 'cygpath -w':

### I have the cygwin root directory in C:\cygwin64, as confirmed by 
'cmd':
$ cmd
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.674]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. Med enerett.

C:\cygwin64\home\Enrique>exit

### Cygwin thinks my home directory is:
$ pwd
/home/Enrique

### But 'cygpath -w' thinks ...
$ cygpath -w /home/Enrique
C:\Users\Enrique\anaconda3\Library\home\Enrique

### Investigating, I found that there is no 'home' in 
C:\Users\Enrique\anaconda3\Library.
### Then I discovered this:
$ mount
C:/Users/Enrique/anaconda3/Library on / type ntfs (binary,noacl,auto)
C:/Users/Enrique/anaconda3/Library/usr/bin on /bin type ntfs 
(binary,noacl,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

Huh ??? How does this work?
Is there a way to hide the mounts done by anaconda?

I guess some anaconda binaries want to find the 'Library' directory as 
the root, but cygwin continues to find its own root under C:/cygwin64. 
Why does it get tripped by the anaconda install just when doing the path 
translation?

Either you have two Cygwin version sinstalled, or your environment is screwed.
Please provide cygcheck output per https://cygwin.com/problems.html
