After today's setup update, cygstart (e.g. "cygstart .") fails with:
/usr/bin/cygstart.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
cygpopt-0.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(happened on two systems, both on Windows 7 64 bit, with cygwin 32 bit;
works with cygwin 64 bit)

Happened to me yesterday. I installed popt and cygstart worked.

An update of the (now obsolete & empty) package libpopt0 removes
cygpopt-0.dll. The file cygpopt-0.dll is now in package popt.
Various packages (chkconfig, cygutils*, rsync, ...) still have
"requires: libpopt0" instead of "popt" in setup.ini. The setup.hint
files of these packages should be changed accordingly.

There should be no need. libpopt0 relies on popt. There was a brief
period during which that wasn't true but that has been rectified.

May I ask WHY this change was made? There is a REASON that DLLs get
their own package, separate from the "main" package -- it's because
DLLs' version numbers change, and in order to have both "cygfoo-0.dll"
and "cygfoo-1.dll" installed at the same time, they need to be in
separate packages...a single "foo" package won't do the trick.
Granted, popt hasn't changed in about a decade, and is unlikely to
"bump" to a new DLL number any time soon...but why mess with a working
nomenclature system for no reason?

I should say it is a dll only package
cygcheck -l popt
/usr/bin/cygpopt-0.dll
/usr/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/popt.mo
[cut]
/usr/share/locale/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/popt.mo
/usr/share/man/man3/popt.3.gz

Yeah, I saw that, too. I figured I'd screwed something up, and just
manually reinstalled libpopt.
Now I wonder if someone has munged a setup.{hint,ini} file somewhere?
