"Nothing to Install/Update" in Cygwin when Using Setup to Install Packages

I'm trying to install new packages in cygwin, but when I get to the package list it's empty with the message "Nothing to Install/Update".

Picking a new mirror resolved this for me, strangely.

Select Full in the View drop-down list in the top left of the package list view.

Selecting **Full** in the **View** drop-down list in the Cygwin Setup package list view.

The package list view defaults to Pending when running the setup again after Cygwin is already installed.

This Q&A is posted as a quick answer for anyone else that didn't see the View drop-down option right away.
