Cheers - glad those are helping some - looking at a few others right now for this weekend: - bison m4 sed​ - as current - and they are more developer oriented; - dash grep gzip readline - as test - they are more pervasive and issues would be high impact. I suggested linux-manpages a while back, as it comes from the same source as posix-manpages, and I install it myself, but did not get voted to package, due to duplication with conflicting priorities and no easy way to resolve under existing paths. I could probably look at bash-completion if I can get around to bash, as I would worry about dependencies, fixes, and tweaks. There are big challenges in bash and coreutils being years out of date as parts of those need customized for Cygwin, and the customization patches are likely to have issues, or even need redesign, if there have been major changes. -- Take care.
