no. Option -p asks the cygwin website and the reply provides
all packages and versions. For this reason I asked for bin/sshd
to trim the answer only to binary programs

Option -l is for the current installation

for what I remenber the collision in installing was caused
by MS calling the service sshd just as Cygwin one.
Now the service is installed as cygsshd so there should be no
collision in installation.
See on
https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2019-04/msg00017.html

"* sshd(8) Cygwin: Change service name to cygsshd to avoid collision
   with Microsoft's OpenSSH port."

Of course you can not have the two runnning together
so you neeed to stop or disable the MS one.

For that you can use
C:\Windows\System32\services.msc

or the MS "net" command
