a package with a missing .lst.gz , should be a obsolete and empty.
Usually are package labels left to pull in the alternative package.

try using grep.

I damaged the xv package as following:

$ cygcheck -c  -v xz
Cygwin Package Information
Last downloaded files to: e:\downloads\cygwin_cache
Last downloaded files from: http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/cygwin/

Package              Version              Status
Missing file: /usr/bin/xz.exe from package xz
xz                   5.0.2_20110517-1     Incomplete


using grep I can find the failing package

$ cygcheck -c xz |grep OK ; echo $?
1

while usually I have

$ cygcheck -c xz |grep OK ; echo $?
xz                   5.0.2_20110517-1     OK
0

Regards
Marco
