Yes, and it doesn't amaze me.

There's the FAQ:

    http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC32

And there's
    
    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00124.html
    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01619.html

but they all say something like:

    You need to reinstall the package that contains the DLL.

Would anyone please explain (in the FAQ) *why* you need to reinstall
the package *manually*?

It seems to me that there's a bug in one of the package's setup.hints,
in that it doesn't list some dependency.  Either that, or the
installation is broken, or there's a strange bug in some popular
version setup.exe.

I think that I don't ;-)
