	I first built this system on January 23 of this year and there
is:

/lib/libpopt.so.0
/lib/libpopt.so.0.0.0
/usr/doc/libpopt0
/usr/share/doc/libpopt0
/usr/share/doc/libpopt0/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/libpopt0/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/libpopt0/copyright
/usr/share/doc/libpopt0/README
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libpopt0.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libpopt0.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libpopt0.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libpopt0.postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libpopt0.prerm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libpopt0.shlibs

	Sorry for the long list, but it is here although not in the
right place.  There is one of the UNIX utilities that can extract the
table of contents of a library, but I can't remember it for the life
of me.  Apropos gave me lots of things with "extract" in them, but
they are archivers and don't open libraries.

	I even made a symbolic link between /usr/include and
/lib/libpopt.so.0 but that didn't help or hurt.  Sadly, UNIX is my day
job.

	I'll run dselect which is the master utility for getting and
managing packages to see if there is more than one libpopt.  This is
one of those times I can almost taste it.
