Good morning!
/usr/bin/getent passwd and /usr/bin/getent group no longer yield any
output in the latest Cygwin 3.7-dev binaries.
Something broke.
I did some digging, and even /usr/bin/getent --help does not work
anymore. strace getent then reported that the function "argp_parse" is
missing in the binary.
Downgrading the package does not help.
Downgrading the libargp package solved the problem.
This also applies to the few other tools which appear in 'rdepends':
f3read, f3write, nosleep, rngtest.

Is testing /usr/bin/getent passwd and /usr/bin/getent group part of
the Cygwin CI?
No, AFAICS.
