Thanks.  Summed-up a bit too well for me, I'm not sure that I fully
understand.

The message suggests that Xt is no longer available, is that so?  Do
you know what consequences that has for packages that used it?

Strange, I tried to rebuild tetex yesterday after upgrading to

    XFree86-bin         4.3.0-2
    XFree86-prog        4.3.0-4

and xdvi had the same problem, so I dismissed that a rebuild would
help.

Ah, but it turns out that (the not-to-be-used-with-1.5.x) libXt.a is
still being shipped in XFree86-prog 4.3.0-4.  Now I'm confused.

No, indeed.  I specifically asked at cygwin-apps and I was advised not
to wait for xfree to be rebuilt against 1.5.x before rebuilding and
releasing tetex, which depends on xfree.

Greetings,
Jan.
