You didn't provide enough details (in particular, please attach the output
of 'cygcheck -svr' as a text attachment):

However, my guess is that one of the dependencies was an update to
base-files, and that you had a cygwin process running during the upgrade
so that the postinstall for base-files did not execute cleanly (at least,
that seems to have been the problem for the 3 or 4 other reports of this
issue this past week - searching the list archives is informative).  Try
reinstalling base-files, and see if that helps.
