Scallywag cygwin-install-action failing in some steps Unable to connect to the remote server

[Brian Inglis via Cygwin-apps]

Hi folks,

Some Scallywag job steps are failing in cygwin-install-action with message 
"Unable to connect to the remote server".

So far only arch and noarch - both package arch and null noarch - build steps 
have been affected - not source builds.

Summary below - full log attached - also see my recent wget2 builds 
"pending"/"failed" with this reason:
