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.
