  Hmm, we should really try and merge this thread with the other ongoing
threads about this exact same problem!  

  BTW, in case just deleting it doesn't work - and when I suggested it to Wei
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-01/msg00354.html
it didn't work, I just posted a recipe to regenerate the list file from the
tarball in your local package storage dir:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-01/msg00419.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,
