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) ------ Thomas

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

An update of the (now obsolete & empty) package libpopt0 removescygpopt-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.hintfiles of these packages should be changed accordingly.
