Thank you for your reply Achim! I tried your suggestion and it was much faster than my kludge! There is one nit though, that libpopt0 shows up under cygcheck -c but is not present in /etc/setup/libpopt0.lst.gz. Also, under cygcheck -l libpopt0 has no files. One would think if I want to find all the installed packages that cygcheck would be the source of truth! As a workaround I can ignore any cygcheck entry that doesn't have a corresponding file in /etc/setup. If there is any concern from anyone about the mismatch of cygcheck and /etc/setup contents I would be glad to share details.
