Any ideas how to fix this. Try rolling back the packages installed after and including cygwin 2.6 to previous release. You can find the packages in /var/log/setup.log starting with the first occurrence of cygwin-2.6.0-1.tar.xz using something like the following: $ cygstart .../setup-x86 -x `sed '1,/cygwin-2\.6\.0-1\.tar\.xz$/d; /^2016.*\/x86\(_64\)\?\/release\//!d;s///;s!^.*/!!; s/-[0-9][-.0-9]\+\.tar\.xz$//' /var/log/setup.log | sort -u | paste -d, -s -` where there should be no spaces or newlines in the sed command list. This starts setup with the list of packages you need to rollback set up to Uninstall or Reinstall: you just need to click on that column for each package, until it shows the previous version differing from the current version. -- Take care.
