Please excuse me if this is the wrong list for this topic.

Inspired by my experience with that EXCELLENT new package,
cygcheck-dep, I tried cleaning cruft in my installation of cygwin by
uninstalling packages in the _obsolete category.  Setup reported
that a number of them were required by other packages, including some
that weren't circularly dependent.

This suggested to me that perhaps there are packages whose "requires:"
lines need updating.  I put together a script to look for that.

Here is the script I used:

SETUP=path_to_setup.ini
gawk '  /^@ /         { pkg = $2 }
        / _obsolete/  { print "\t" pkg "$" }
     ' ${SETUP} | \
sort -u \
> ob.tmp
gawk '  /^@ /         { pkg = $2 }
        /^requires: / { for (N = 2; N <= NF; N++) { print pkg "\t" $N } }
     ' ${SETUP} | \
sort -u | \
grep -f ob.tmp
rm ob.tmp

Here's what I found:

libwmf-devel          libexpat1-devel
