I ran setup.exe yesterday to update my Cygwin system and noticed that
afterward most of my Cygwin-related desktop icons reverted to the
Windows default icon image. Upon further investigation I found that
/bin/cygicons-0.dll is missing from my system.
cygcheck -c reports no incomplete packages.

The cygutils package was recently split into cygutils-extra and
cygutils-x11. Install cygutils-extra.

That did it. Thanks, Barry!

Doesn't this suggest that cygicons-0.dll should be included
in the base cygwin package?

base does not needs icons, so in IMHO no.

That's a bit flawed line, IMO.
Default install should put user's system in a consistent working order.
Missing icons is not something I would call "consistent".
On another note, why not include Cygwin icon into cygwin1.dll?

What part of a default install [1] *requires* icons from cygicon-0.dll?
Now, if you're talking about updating an existing cygwin installation
via setup.exe [with no special package selection], then yeah -- this is
a *known* breakage. But it's better than the previous *known issue*
where a default "Base" install [1] would pull in python and bits of X11.
THAT is what this packaging change was intended to fix, and because we
did so deliberately in order to break requires: dependencies, we
couldn't very well avoid the problem you see by adding those same
requires: dependencies right back.
Summary: READ the cygwin-announce list. Always. KNOW what you're doing
when you upgrade. AND, if you didn't do that...when you see an error
due to a "routine upgrade"...go back and DO read that list.
[1] And by "default install" I mean "new installation of cygwin, using
setup.exe, on a virgin system that has never before had cygwin
installed", where NO special package selection is made. E.g. a "Base"
installation.
And really, missing icons doesn't break a darn thing. It just makes
things look less pretty, temporarily, until you manually install the
correct package.
