Perhaps you need to provide the -g (--upgrade-also) flag to cygwin's setup.

Due to setup terribleness, without this flag, it will install the 
requested packages, and any missing dependencies of them, but not 
upgrade any of the dependencies which are already installed to the 
current (and perhaps needed) version...
