I broke my win XP cygwin install such that bash fails to start.
I used Setup.exe version 2.870.
The install failed when trying to run the postinstall bash scripts.
After the install failure bash fails every time with:
The procedure entry point __locale_ctype_ptr could not be located in
the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll.
The install failed because it tried to install cygwin 2.6.0 which is
not compatible with winxp.
I reran Setup.exe to grab cygwin version 2.5.2-1 but the install still
fails with the same cygwin1.dll error.
Already tried to grab cygwin version 2.5.0 (which is the last known
good cygwin version that ran on my machine) from the time machine, but
I keep getting the same cygwin1.dll error. Any ideas how to fix this.
Thank you
Will

You probably have a version of bash that was built for cygwin-2.6.0.
Try reverting bash to whatever release was current just before
cygwin-2.6.0 was released.

Fixed it. Dependency walker showed that my bash had a dependency to
ncurses, ncurses had the broken entry point dependancy into
cygwin1.dll. So i just rolled back ncurses to the last version. Also
had to roll back mintty for the same reason. In the process of
rolling everything back that got updated by this last failed update.
Happy days.

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.
