I thought this reply (Mark Hatle is part of the the @rpm5.org project that
maintains POPT)
was sufficient:
http://rpm5.org/community/popt-devel/0245.html
If Mark's answer is not sufficient to get the "issues sorted out", you will
have to
be more specific about what the issue(s) are than mailing a highlighted
web form from an automated scanner in order for me to tell what issues
remain.
What I see is that your automated scanner is confused about generated
files from GNU tools using in POPT.
