Some Cygwin programs are failing even after reboots, re-installing the faulty program, and the customary automatic rebasing (e.g. 'dig', Line 1 below) after a recent update:Some cygwin64 packages were installed (see line 17 below (even though I am running *32* bit cygwin, installed using setup-*x86*.exe: After the existing setup warned me that there was a newer one, I downloaded this one before continuing with the update. 08/23/2017 04:10 PM 871,955 setup-x86.exe 9afd6a83bbb7dbb55805ab113e1e618e *setup-x86.exe Lines 1 - 9: After the update I noticed that 'dig' wasn't working properly (even after a reboot, and a reinstall of the bind-utils package, and the automatic rebase invoked by 'setup'.)

The most recent version *should* 6 reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have 7 installed the cygwin distribution.

The packages whose names start with "cygwin64" are x86 packages intended for cross-building 64-bit programs on 32-bit Cygwin. If you don't want them, you can uninstall them in the usual way by running setup-x86.exe. I don't think they have anything to do with your problem.
