Igor, the problem is the following:
/usr/local/bin/ssh.exe is 3.0.2
/usr/bin/ssh.exe is 3.6
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/etc..........
So, the install does not check the whole path to see if there are other
copies of ssh that need to re replaced. I thought the default installation
directory was /usr/local/bin, yet it seems to be /usr/bin.
Two options: change the order in $PATH in my config, or copy the ssh.exe
from one directory to another. I wonder how many more apps are installed
this way.....
Have a great weekend,

OK, so this is just a local configuration problem. You should change
your path or keep track of local packages you put in /usr/local/bin.
Cygwin packages distributed with setup.exe always install to /usr/bin,
/bin (which is the same as /usr/bin) or /usr/sbin (this is rare). No
Cygwin package post-install script goes hunting around looking for other
versions not previously installed by setup.exe. So if you have other
packages in /usr/local/bin that would conflict with those you're
installing with setup.exe, your best bet is to get rid of them.
