the package is "libjpeg62"
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=3Dlibjpeg62%2Flibjpeg62-6b-=
21&grep=3Dcygjpeg-62.dll

are you sue that xemacs need cygjpeg-62.dll ?

on the setup.ini file it is reported libjpeg8

@ emacs-X11
sdesc: "X11 binaries for Emacs."
ldesc: "This package contains the X11 binaries for emacs.  Install
it if you want to run emacs using the X window system for
display.  The binaries also can be used in non-X11 mode."
category: Editors Interpreters
requires: alternatives emacs font-adobe-dpi75 font-misc-misc libICE6
libSM6 libX11_6 libXft2 libXpm4 libXrender1 libdbus1_3 libfontconfig1
libfreetype6 libgcc1 libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0 libgif4 libglib2.0_0
libgtk2.0_0 libjpeg8 libncursesw10 libpng12 libtiff5 cygwin
version: 23.2-3

what is the output of    "cygcheck emacs-X11.exe"  ?

any mirror should contain all the packages.

The problem you see is more likely due to the fact that libjpeg62 is
an obsolete package,
So to see it on the "select packages" window list you need to unset
"hide obsolete packages" in the left down corner of the window .
