When I try to update my Cygwin64 installation (on a virtualBox Win7-64
installation) I get an error about the cygwin32-1.7.27-1.tar.xz package
which seems corrupted.

This is confirmed from command line on which i get:

$ tar -rf cygwin32-1.7.27-1.tar.xz
tar: Impossibile aggiornare archivi compressi
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

	You need to tell tar to uncompress it for you -- or uncompress
it yourself.

For 't' try using
tar -taf fff.tar.xz

You've never been able to append a file directly to a compressed
archive.  You need to uncompress it first, append then recompress.
