Definitely looks suspicious.  I suggest you remove *everything* from
that ../var/cache/mingw-get/packages directory, before you try again;
mingw-get will blindly use any appropriately named package in there,
to save a download, but *without* checking integrity, so if you do
have a corrupt package, it will just keep being retried, and just keep
on failing.  One of my to-do items is to address this issue.
