Same here. I maintain a local mirror and use my own setup.ini files 
(created with genini); these do not have 'sig' files. Directory 
structure is as follows:

cygwin-2015-10-16
   /cygwin
     /x86
     /x86_64
   /cygwinports
     /noarch
     /x86
     /x86_64

The 'setup.ini' files are located in the 'x86' and 'x86_64' directories; 
setup is pointed at the 'cygwin-2015-10-16' directory. Eventually 
managed to install using an older version of setup that I had downloaded 
previously.

Hope this helps,

Dave.
