RE: gost.dll required but missing after latest Cygwin update

["Alan" <alan@bytehouse.co.uk>]

bind-utils 9.11.2-2-P2 has a dependency on libssl1.1. A workaround for my
issue seems to be downgrading bind-utils to version 9.11.2-2-P1 which
doesn't have that dependency.

Thanks go to  Brian Ingliss for the hint which pointed me in the right
direction.

I'd suggest anyone maintaining a package with a dependency on libssl1.1
should check for similar issues.

Regards,  Alan

This seems related to openssl 1.1.1b1 but it affects multiple other
programs.

For example dig no longer works:

I have been unable so far to find a workaround or fix. There's a libgost.so
in /usr/lib/engines-1.0 but no gost.dll anywhere:

I've attached a redacted cygcheck file.

Thanks for any advice,  Alan
