Base-files has been updated to version 4.2-4. This is a bugfix release.
4.2-4 (bugfix release)
* etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh: Windows only uses 8 characters
for files in the WINETC directory. Check if the symlink target
exists and remove the symlink if not (to fix "protocols" where
"protocol" should be used). Truncate the target file names to eight
characters for new symlinks. Reported by Walter L., see
cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-09/msg00371.html
* etc/defaults/etc/profile: Remove test for invalid user or group
accounts and the instructions on how to create passwd and group file
contents.
