Ah - here's the difference:
$ cygcheck --version
cygcheck version 1.74

$ cygcheck /bin/none
c:/cygwin/bin/none - Cannot open
$ cygcheck none
Error: could not find none
I don't know why absolute vs. relative changes the error message, or why I

but the best approach is to check for BOTH errors:
case ...
*Error:\ could\ not\ find* | *Cannot\ open*) update=yes ;;
