After updating to the latest Cygwin, our test scripts are failing because the "registry" package is missing from tclsh:

$ tclsh
% package require registry
can't find package registry
% 

This probably coincides with the upgrade from tcl8.4 to tcl8.5 reported in the announcement below.

I'm using tcl package version 8.5.11-1

Is there a separate Cygwin package needed for the registry package, or are there other plans to fix this?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Tcl/Tk 8.5.11
. From: "Yaakov (Cygwin/X)" <yselkowitz at users dot sourceforge dot net>

. Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Tcl/Tk 8.5.11
. Reply-to: cygwin at cygwin dot com
. Reply-to: The Cygwin Mailing List <cygwin at cygwin dot com>
________________________________________
Tcl/Tk has been updated to 8.5.11 with the following important changes:

* Tcl now uses *NIX APIs and will behave like other Cygwin programs with
regards to filename paths, etc.

* Tk (tcl-tk) now uses X11 instead of GDI.  This means the following
Tk-based applications now require an X server at runtime:

- gitk and git-gui
- WordNet
- wordview (from the catdoc package)
- idle
- Anything using python's tkinter or ruby's tcltk modules.

* The following Tcl extensions are now packaged separately:

- tcl-itcl
- tcl-itk
- tcl-iwidgets
- tcl-tix
- tcl-tk

* Most packages which used tcltk have been rebuilt and will pull in
whichever tcl packages they now require.

* Any Tcl extensions or applications which you have installed yourself
will need to be rebuilt.

Please report any issues encountered with this upgrade to the Cygwin
list.
