I have 1522 packages installed: 421 manually installed packages and 1101 automatically installed. It appears you have 0 manually installed packages in the Cygwin installation you are looking at, if you used a Cygwin setup-compatible installer, ran exactly the commands quoted above, and they gave you consistent answers. It is possible setup has been changed incompatibly and no longer maintains that field correctly, but in case not, *NEVER* run setup and tell it to remove obsolete packages: it will remove all non-Base packages that do not have others which depend on them! -- Take care.
