Thank you for your response.
Following the announcement of the previous update, I would like to
note that the binaries need to be recompiled.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what that statement means. It's not literally
"every single binary in cygwin"
I don't really know enough about ruby be sure how to interpret it.
There's some subset of packages which need rebuilding (as discussed
below), and maybe any locally installed gems which have binaries?
I applied my usual workaround (which is adding 'ruby_23' to an internal
list of things which are allowed to not be provided), and set the job to
rerun, which seems to have succeeded.
Does this mean adding `ruby_23` to `depend2` in some packages in setup.ini?
Not really.
The failure was a consequence of that. As previously mentioned, using
some special tools, I've retroactively added appropriate ruby_xy
requires: in the .hint files for existing packages which:
* install into /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/x.y/
* install into /usr/lib/gems/ruby/x.y/
* contain executable files linked to cygrubyxy0.dll because they embed a
ruby interpreter (which seems to be just kross-ruby, kf5-kross-ruby and
weechat-ruby)
I would like to know more about the specifications of setup.ini. Is
there any documentation available somewhere?
Sure, the documentation is at:
https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.ini.html
Feel free to ask if you have further questions not covered by that.
