The snapshot is hard to use in headless CI systems because the provided 
archive contains a cygwin dll, so it cannot be patched from within 
cygwin and my experience with doing such things in PowerShell is limited.

Instead I am now restoring the old version using:

wget 
http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86/release/tar/tar-1.32-2.tar.xz 
-O /tmp/tar-1.32-2.tar.xz
tar xvf /tmp/tar-1.32-2.tar.xz -C /

which can be run from the cygwin console to restore the previous tar 
after cygwin setup.

I will try the snapshot later locally.

Best regards,

Michael
