Your opinion is wrong. Not only will it make future upgrades hard, it
will also not fix the problem, since, as Eric said, this is a legitimate
message that resulted from installing an experimental version of the
coreutils package.
To reiterate: there is *NEVER*[*] any reason to copy cygwin1.dll anywhere
but the directory mounted as /bin. Doing so will only break your Cygwin
installation.
