Hello,

(specific details like versions & sources can be found below)

Using R with the Devtools library I try to install a package called Catboost,
with the following R script:

--
install.packages("devtools", dependencies = TRUE)
library(devtools)
devtools::install_url('https://github.com/catboost/catboost/releases/download/v0.26.1/catboost-R-Windows-0.26.1.tgz')
--

Devtools was already installed successfully, but the last command
(devtools::install_url...) returns:

Cygwin WARNING:
  Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer.  This typically occurs if you're using
  an older Cygwin version on a newer Windows.  Please update to the latest
  available Cygwin version from https://cygwin.com/.  If the problem persists,
  please see https://cygwin.com/problems.html

Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from URL:
  Does not appear to be an R package (no DESCRIPTION)

Under Windows 8 the same installation script runs fine:

For R, check https://mirror.lyrahosting.com/CRAN/ I'm forced to use the Windows
version due to a dependency from another Windows program. 
I use the latest version of Cygwin: 2.909, 64-bit.
I use the 64-bit version of Bunsenlabs, which is based on Debian 10.

In case you need any more info, please let me know. 
Thanks!
