"apt-cyg install unzip" fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. apt-cyg install unzip

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect to find unzip installed afterwards.  Instead, I see output

Installing unzip
Package unzip not found or ambiguous name, exiting

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

--version says "apt-cyg version 0.57" 

Please provide any additional information below.

Workaround is to use setup.exe's gui to install unzip.

patch and patchutils also affected.

Workaround: always pass -m option as recommended by
http://johnrizzo.net/blog/2011/05/15/513/

e.g.
alias apt-cyg=’apt-cyg -m http://cygwin.mirrors.pair.com/’
alias apt-cygports=’apt-cyg -m ftp://sourceware.org/pub/cygwinports/’
