My guess is that you had a cygwin program still running when you did
the upgrade, leading to postinstall script failure.  Normally, setup.exe
does the right thing if you upgrade when no cygwin process is
running.  But the fix is simple - stop all cygwin processes, rerun
setup.exe, and let it once again determine dependencies it needs
to install.

We ask for cygcheck output as an uncompressed text attachment
for a reason - so that we can read it without having to save it off
to a file and unzipping it.  (translation, I didn't bother to read your
cygcheck output, because it was not easily accessible, so I probably
missed out on some clues that might have made my response more
to the point on how to fix your particular problem).

1.5.19-4.  Honestly, it works, or it wouldn't have remained the
current version for several months now.
