  BTW, just deleting it and rerunning setup might also do the job, as at
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-01/msg00420.html
but sometimes it doesn't work, as at 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-01/msg00354.html

  It's also possible that the tarball in the package directory might be
corrupted and this somehow causes the problem, in which case we would expect
to see an error message during the attempt to regenerate the lst.gz file.

    cheers,
