You need to do a full rebase.  I recommend that you do this as follows:

1. Run '/usr/bin/rebase-trigger full'.

2. Reboot, and make sure no Cygwin processes or services are running.

3. Run setup.

The _autorebase postinstall script will take care of the rebase, and 
setup will rerun any postinstall scripts that previously failed.
