I am replying to my own report to provide closure to
the issue I was experiencing.
Thanks to *Christian* and his response to another issue
related to popt in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-01/msg00148.html, I
found that RPM v4.11.1-1 works with popt 1.16.1
installed (via a new setup.ini and package updates).
Originally, I still had libpopt0 1.6.4-4 installed as
the RPM dependency from my previous local download
where setup.ini did not include the change for the
(now) obsolete libpopt.
One can glean a lot reading this list ... my sincere
thanks to all you contributors!
Regards,
Ken
