apt-cyg downloading the html file and not the package #5

I've found this error several times, but I'm going to give you an example
of just one package this is occurring with:

The example I am giving is attempting to install the kdelibs package Please
note that apt-cygports is an alias for the following 
alias apt-cygports='apt-cyg -m ftp://sourceware.org/pub/cygwinports/'

When I search for the kdelibs I get this:

$ apt-cygports -u find kdelibs
Working directory is /cygdrive/c/temp/cygwin
Mirror is ftp://sourceware.org/pub/cygwinports/

Searching for installed packages matching kdelibs:
kdelibs-data
kdelibs-devel
kdelibs4

Searching for installable packages matching kdelibs:
kdelibs
kdelibs-bin
kdelibs-data
kdelibs-devel
kdelibs4

However when I go to install kdelibs it always fails:

$ apt-cygports -u install kdelibs
Working directory is /cygdrive/c/temp/cygwin
Mirror is ftp://sourceware.org/pub/cygwinports/

Installing kdelibs
Found package kdelibs

Removed `.listing'.
Wrote HTML-ized index to `index.html' [1349].

Why does it come back as a HTML listing rather than just install the package??

kdelibs is a source package; I suggest installing the corresponding binary 
package,
kdelibs4.  apt-cyg could be enhanced to install source packages with assistance 
from
the cygwinports developers.
