Hi,
I've changed setup.exe just about every time it says there is a new
version, so I usually run the latest.
Today I found that some of my programs and libraries are not the latest
I thought I installed, and the following shows the problem:
$ for f in `ls /usr/bin/*.new`; do
ls -al $f ${f%.new}
done

root is just an alias in /etc/group for Administrators.
The .new files are not even consistent, not always the .new is the
latest version, as can be seen by the dates, for instance:
$ /usr/bin/bash.exe --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.48(21)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
$ /usr/bin/bash.exe.new --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.51(24)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
$ /usr/bin/ssh.exe -V
OpenSSH_5.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8n 24 Mar 2010
$ /usr/bin/ssh.exe.new -V
OpenSSH_5.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8n 24 Mar 2010
Has this bug been reported? Has it been corrected?
I seem to remember there was something at least similar reported, but
since some of those files are recent it looks like the error, if it was
the same, is still present.
On my end I guess I'll have to clean up the mess myself.
