Sorry Brian: missed yours when replying to Andrey. Brian said:I can't find anything anywhere on my system or the web suggesting a source for that. Something you or some script did on your system? How did you find the links in your 2014 "Missing links" post: from cygcheck -c|-s? What were the associated packages? https://cygwin.com/legacy-ml/cygwin/2014-07/msg00289.html
I found the weird / missing links through a much less cerebral approach than that suggested by you, I'm afraid. As follows: I usually have more than one Cygwin setup (e.g one on a drive on PC1, one on a drive on PC2, one on a stick, ..). If I compare any two (that are intended to be identical) using $ diff -rq /setup1 /setup2 > diffs.1 2> diffs.2 then apart from unimportant binary-file-by-binary-file byte differences occurring during installation (and some important differences worth attention) identified in the file diffs.1, there are often discrepancies, mis-labelling, and other glitches worth investigating and / or needing correction to be found in the file diffs.2. (I had forgotten that the particular weirdness /usr/share/terminfo/terminfo -> /usr/share/terminfo/ had a history - and such a long one.)
