There was a discussion on the matter on the packager mailing list in February
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2023-February/042624.html

Please try the test version of the package
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2023-March/010972.html

and let us know it the 4.4.1-2 version solves your problem
