Hi
Managed to totally screw up my Cygwin by trying to reinstall the base  
utilities in setup. .

Setup kept complaining that /usr/share/locale/af was being shared or locked , 
... exit all cygwin etc, reboot required etc ... no luck.. wouldn't even let 
me do a fresh install into a new directory.

In the end manually created the directory af in /usr/share/locale also 
/usr/share/locale/af/LC_MESSAGES and magically my Cygwin was all bright and 
shiny again.

Don't know if this was a one off , or a chestnut, or if this posting might 
help someone!
