More generally, without locate installed or updated, 
you can find it quickly with: 

$ grep -A1 '^last-cache$' /etc/setup/setup.rc
last-cache
        C:/cygwin-package-cache

at: 

$ ls $(cygpath $(sed '0,/^last-cache$/d;q' /etc/setup/setup.rc))/?*tp%3a%2f%2f*cygwin*%2f/x86*/setup.ini

giving: 

$ grep '^setup-version:\s' $(cygpath $(sed '0,/^last-cache$/d;q' /etc/setup/setup.rc))/?*tp%3a%2f%2f*cygwin*%2f/x86*/setup.ini
setup-version: 2.876

or: 

$ sed '/^setup-version:\s/!d;s///' $(cygpath $(sed '0,/^last-cache$/d;q' /etc/setup/setup.rc))/?*tp%3a%2f%2f*cygwin*%2f/x86*/setup.ini
2.876
