The package does have a wrong permissions mask. That may have
prevented the execution of preremove/postinstall scripts, but I can't

I have downgraded to 4.0-6 and upgraded again without failures, but
this cygwin is installed by an Admin user system-wide.

I'll release a package correcting the permissions ASAP.
