The cygcheck manpage has some unsightlies:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
$ man cygcheck
NAME
        -  List system information, check installed packages, or query
package
       database.
...
       Note:  -c,  -f,  and  -l  only  report  on  packages that are
currently
       installed. To

       search all official Cygwin packages use -p instead.
              The -p REGEXP matches

              package names, descriptions, and names of files/paths
within all
              packages.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Better:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
$ man cygcheck
NAME
       cygcheck  - List system information, check installed packages, or
query
       package database.
