Check for outdated mirrors at:

	https://cygwin.com/mirrors-report.html

Compare the modified time stamp on your local mirror for:

	$mirror/x86_64/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}

to that on the master for:

{ftp,http,https}://cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/x86{,64}/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}

or just the sha512.sum at each (e.g. using curl -I).

I see 21.1.3-1 as current and 21.1.0-1 as test on my local mirror

	$mirror/x86_64/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}

and also the master

{ftp,http,https}://cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/x86{,64}/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}
