Corinna,

the bug is in the
   /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh
of base-files-4.2-3

--------------------------------------------
FILES="hosts protocols services networks"
OSNAME="$(/usr/bin/uname -s)"
WINETC="$(/usr/bin/cygpath -S -u)/drivers/etc"

[cut]

for mketc in ${FILES}
do
   if [ ! -e "/etc/${mketc}" -a ! -L "/etc/${mketc}" ]
   then
     /usr/bin/ln -s -v "${WINETC}/${mketc}" "/etc/${mketc}"
   fi
done
--------------------------------------------

As on my systems the bug is not present,
it can be a relative recent introduction.

Regards
Marco
