'Wrong' dll names in 4.3.0-1 packages -> breaks all 3rd partyX apps

[Harold L Hunt II]

Ton,

See the following announcement:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-08/msg00041.html


I made an XFree86-lib-compat-4.3.0-1 package available that has the old 
DLLs in it.  Please install it and see if it fixes your problem.


Thanks for testing,

Harold
