Re: Presence of cygwin64 elements in an existing Cygwin 32 install after updating

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'.)

Lines 12 - 17: cygcheck showed the following note about a missing (64
bit?) cygwin DLL.

Line 17 especially, why is there an 'x86_64' reference on a cygwin 32
bit install?

Lines 20 - 29 show a number of cygwin64 references, 108 to be exact on Line 29:

Line 33 is additional evidence that this is the 32 bit setup program:

Lines 36 - 44 show more info about the setup.ini file.

      3    This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions
of the cygwin DLL.
      4    Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
      5    and delete all but the most recent version.  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.  Rebooting is also suggested if you
      8    are unable to find another cygwin DLL.

Interested in how to remove the cygwin64 components from this cygwin
32 bit system so that failing Cygwin programs work properly.

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.
