If you're trying to reinstall all of Cygwin by uninstalling and reinstalling,
split the install in two.  First install just the default, then install 
everything else.  You'll find discussion of this in the email archive for
this list and more in the cygwin-apps list.  I'm not sure if this describes
closely enough what you're doing but if you find it close, try it.
