The above problem seems akin to the following which I encountered.

cygcheck reported shellutils and xpm as Incomplete. I tried to 
Reinstall them but only Remove and Keep was available. Selected 
Reinstall on the whole cathegory (Misc). Running that displayed a 
dialog box with the message: "Can't open (null) for reading. No such 
file."

Setup.exe is 2.457.2.2

Solved my problem by clicking OK. This lead to someother packages 
being Incomplete but these did Reinstall second time around.
