Is this… normal ?
The first four are consequences of the fact that /bin is the same as /usr/bin
and /lib is the same as /usr/lib. The links in question were actually installed
in /usr/bin or /usr/lib. The package maintainers could avoid this issue by
using absolute paths instead of relative ones in the symlink content, but I
don't think it's likely to cause problems in practice.
The last two symlinks would get resolved if you installed tcl-devel and
tcl-tk-devel. I think it's fine to leave dangling symlinks in this situation.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Re-Release: ca-certificates-2022.2.54-2
The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution: ca-certificates-2022.2.54-2 ca-certificates-letsencrypt-2022.2.54-2 This re-release fixes an upstream bug with a script that uses bash features but didn't actually specify that it should run in bash. Mozilla's CA root certificates for use with OpenSSL, NSS, GnuTLS, and other software that handles certificate verification. This is an update to the latest upstream release. This update contains the ca-certificates-letsencrypt package, whose installation will make the ISRG R3 intermediate CA a trust anchor and removes trust for the already expired DST X3 root CA (this should strictly not be necessary, but works around bugs present in some libraries in how alternate chains are constructed and verified). This will allow to successfully verify certificates using the Letsencrypt legacy cert chain in certain applications. Install this package when you currently have trouble accessing sites (due to validation complaining about an expired certificate) that had no problems until about September 30 or October 1 2021 depending on your timezone. The release numbering scheme has been aligned with Fedora. -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: {,mingw64-{i686,x86_64}-}binutils-2.39-1
The binutils packages for Cygwin and MingW64 cross-compilation toolchains have been updated to the upstream feature release 2.39, with additional patches applied to remove upstream changes that are incompatible with Cygwin. binutils-2.39-1 mingw64-i686-binutils-2.39-1 mingw64-x86_64-binutils-2.39-1 The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools. Most of these programs use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor library, to do low-level manipulation. Many of them also use the opcodes library to assemble and disassemble machine instructions. Note This release still allows one to apparently use weak symbols (depending on exactly how you test for them), which however don't actually work on Windows nor Cygwin as they are unsupported by the loader. These symbols should always resolve as NULL, but since release 2.37 they sometimes don't. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28719 After further changes and bugfixes in this area a workaround that was identified earlier no longer has the desired effect and investigation into the real root cause is still ongoing. This change in behaviour triggered a latent bug in gnulib's detection of weak symbols for pthreads that leads to non-debuggable crashes of applications erroneously built with weak symbols. Either update gnulib (or at least threadlib.m4) or add export gl_cv_have_weak=no to the cygport (or set it as an environment variable during configure). -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
