RE: curl (7.27.0-1), even curl --version, does not work


FYI, please *attach* cygcheck output in the future so it doesn't clutter
up search results.

My guess is you had Cygwin processes running when you upgraded from
1.7.14 to 1.7.16 and did not reboot afterwards (there should be a
cygwin1.dll.new in your /bin directory). Or, as I understand happens
sometimes, the Windows replace-on-reboot feature failed.

The safest thing to do to fix the problem would be to close all Cygwin
processes and reinstall the Cygwin package.

If you want to get your hands dirty, you could close all Cygwin
processes and replace your existing cygwin1.dll with cygwin1.dll.new.

Hope this helps,
