I guess no one in the cygwin community could guarantee that a mirror
is complete all the time.
There is a periodic check and if a mirror is not in line is removed
from the list, but it is not fault proof.

I have not big problems on this side, probably you are just unlucky.

I notice that in reality we have both xemacs and emacs-x11 ,
and xemacs requires libjpeg62.

From setup.ini

@ xemacs
sdesc: "A powerful, highly customizable open source text editor and
application development system"
ldesc: "XEmacs is a powerful, highly customizable open source text editor and
[cut]
category: Editors Interpreters
requires: cygwin libcompface0 libX11_6 libXau6 libXaw3d7 libXft2
libXpm4 libaudio2 libdb4.5 libgmp3 libintl8 libjpeg62 libncurses8
libopenldap2_3_0 libpng12 libpq5 libtiff5

So the installation of xemacs should also pull libjpeg62
