It was most likely the scenario which we outlined a couple of weeks ago,
but was not fixed yet.

Install latest libpq5 + uninstall old libpq4, which deleted
bin/cygpq.dll which is used by both packages. reinstalling
libpq5-8.2.9 should fix it. The other deps should be correct AFAIK.

The fix is to rename the libpq5 and libpq4 packages to libpq.
I'll fix it with the upcoming 8.3.x packages.
