Re: what am IO doing bad?

My first guess is going to be that you have downloaded
the dpkg.deb file onto a textmode mountpoint. 

From a cygwin shell, do a 'mount'.
determine the mount type of the mountpoint where the .deb file is 
located.

If necessary, move the .deb file to a binmode mountpoint, and see
if that fixes your problem.
