1.5.18-1Upgrade/Install Issues

Hello, I was upgrading from a previous version of cygwin (I unfortuantly do not recall which, but it was at least a year old) when during the "Installing" part of running Setup.exe a neat little window popped up letting me know: warning: deleting "C:\cygwin/usr/share/locale/cs/LC_TIME" so I
