Ah. Then you are ALSO running an older version of the cygwin package.

No, there's a misfeature in setup.exe -- when you click the spinner, it
cycles from 'Skip' to 'Prev' to 'Curr' and back to 'Skip'. In other
words, if you "select" a package, the first choice it gives you is the
old version, not the current version. AFAIRC, this is being fixed.

No, you didn't "slip" -- as I said, a misfeature in setup is to blame
here.

Sure -- just run setup again. Now that *something* is installed, it
will happily recommend that you update those packages.
