Janos,

A very general hint is that installing one or both of those other 
applications changed your system's PATH environment variable in a way 
that's causing some of BASH's start-up processing to fail. Possibly the 
BASH startup processing is invoking a program or script whose name is that 
of a program or script included in one of these new application packages 
and now when you launch BASH it's invoking the wrong one. Or the 
installation of those applications could simply have removed your Cygwin 
directory (-ies) from the PATH variable.
