This is very much not a supported method for installing packages.  You
are really just confusing a very simple issue by even bringing this up.

The way to install packages for cygwin is via "setup.exe".  If you don't
see a package 2 microseconds after someone sends an announcement to
cygwin-announce then... WAIT FOR IT.
