This update appears to have broken the dependencies for at least the
msgfmt tool in gettext-devel:

    $ msgfmt
    C:/cygwin64/bin/msgfmt.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygunistring-5.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After downgrading these packages back to the previous version
0.19.8.1-2, this works as expected:

    $ msgfmt
    msgfmt: no input file given
    Try 'msgfmt --help' for more information.

It looks like, as of the new release, dependencies on libunistring*
should be dependencies on libunistring5*.

I've attached cygcheck output; I ran this in Windows Sandbox to prove
the minimal test case, and got some unexpected error output from the
command, too.  I suspect that's not relevant, but I wanted to flag it!

    $ cygcheck -srv >/cygdrive/c/Users/WDAGUtilityAccount/Desktop/cygcheck.out
    /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: QueryServiceConfig failed for 'dcsvc': Win32 error 2
