Maybe I should take the reboot warning more seriously.

$ locate .new

That's a very fair assumption.  'setup.exe' knows when you need to reboot
in order to complete the latest installation process.  If you ignore the
directive to reboot, you may find some or all of Cygwin no longer works.
Rebooting will fix the problem.

Agreed.

Not necessarily.  These files were all missed during a reboot.

I usually reboot my PC once per week.  I tend to Hibernate or leave it
running at the end of the day.  I also run setup.exe multiple times
per week to check for updates.  There may be some cases where the
files that need updating are missed.

If that's true, it would be indicative of a bug.  If you're willing to
help track it down, please provide the details of how you reproduce this
situation.

I think since man-1.6d-2, man has not worked for me.

I have tried the trivial solutions, but nothing has worked.

/usr/share/misc/man.conf has not been changed.

I greatly appreciate any help.

$ man ls -d
In my mind, the trivial solutions include checking 'info ls' and 
checking for existence of the man page you are trying to read.  On my 
installation, your man commands work fine, and I've got the same man 
version.
