I lost bash weeks ago and hence cygwin which I used to start from

bash --login -i
For reasons beyond me, I can run Xemacs and reach bash functionality
from
(Tools/shell command) and thus produce cygcheck.
Using setup for updating Cygwin a warning is issued:
Package: _/_update-info-dir
update-info-dir.sh exit code -6
Package: _/Unknown package
cygutils.sh exit code -6
dejavu-fonts.sh exit code -6
....
....
Without bash, the postinstall scripts can't run.
In the attached cygcheck the setup failure turns up as 'incomplete'
installations.
I suggest that you start by running setup and reinstalling all the
packages that show as incomplete. Be sure to use the latest setup; a
new version was just made available a few days ago.
