Yeah, that looks fine..
Standard procedure is to attach the output of cygcheck -s -v -r though..
That said, I've just checked mine and I'm still getting this message..
As well as all messages being duplicated now.. Joy..
No idea why offhand.

Will investigate more later, but hopefully someone will come up with
something..
It doesn't seem to be anything to worry about though.

never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face
forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has
arrived... Are you ready to go?
