But cygcheck is a win32 program, so it outputs the list of names with dos-style CRLF line endings. >> No such file or directoryssmtp-config What it's actually printing here is /usr/bin/ssmtp-config[CR, no LF]: No such file or directory. and there is of course no such file as "/usr/bin/ssmtp-config^M".
