Sorry, mea culpa. Basically, cygcheck failed package integrity check if the manifest (file list) for that file was missing. At the time I wrote the code, I thought that an abnormal situation. Turns out that no manifest exists for empty packages (compatibility, like "diff" and "newlib-man", and dummy ones, like "XFree86-base"), so this is perfectly normal. This should be fixed by , and will appear in the next snapshot, whenever that's generated (and, of course, in 1.5.4).
