gnome and hicolor exit code 127 for /usr/bin .vs. /bin

I have been doing setup updates for a few weeks with the error as shown in the following paragraph.

Package: Unknown package
	gnome-icon-theme.sh exit code 127
	hicolor-icon-theme.sh exit code 127

I finally decided to quit procrastinating and figure out what is going on.  I checked in /etc/postinstall and found the gnome-
icon-theme.sh and hicolor-icon-theme.sh scripts still exist (i.e. they are not renamed with ".done" appended).

I opened both scripts and found they reference "/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache.exe".  There is no /usr/bin directory on my 
system.  I did find /bin/gtk-update-icon-cache.exe exists.

Two possibilities come to mind.  The /bin directory should be copied (or linked, or remamed) to the /usr/bin directory by 
setup, or the setup scripts are referencing an invalid location and should be corrected.

Please provide directions on the correct way to resolve this /bin .vs. /usr/bin issue.  I have included my cygcheck.out file as 
directed.

Sincerely,

Brian S. Wilson

P.S.
Thank you for doing the automatic rebase in setup.  The extra few seconds spent there save a lot of headaches down the line.
