Neither do I (at the moment) :( The first one happens from time to time. 
For exmaple when some new package is uploaded or updated, but not each 
time. I guess the one who sees it must debug it immediately.

As for the second one I could reproduce it as long as I had my old cache 
of Cygwin packages, which unfortunately is now lost :(
