Well, that's listed there as well: http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=_update-info-dir > Now, trying to install this from setup, I cannot find it. You probably shouldn't be trying to to that; it's not a real package and it's not intended for general use, it's really part of the setup.exe support infrastructure. > I assume it should be in the Doc category, but is not.

It's not ignored, it makes it sort right to the very end of the list. > What am I missing? Uncheck the "Hide obsolete packages" checkbox!
