Agreed. The files that use popt are:
general/sysutils/hal.xml
general/graphlib/librsvg.xml
general/genutils/hd2u.xml
general/genutils/desktop-file-utils.xml
gnome/add/libgnomeprint.xml
gnome/core/orbit2.xml
gnome/core/libgtop.xml
gnome/otherlibs/soup.xml
gnome/otherlibs/oaf.xml
gnome/otherlibs/gconf1.xml
multimedia/libdriv/gstreamer.xml
multimedia/libdriv/libdv.xml
server/other/rsync.xml
server/major/samba3.xml
Most are required. Since popt is a library for parsing the command
line, we should be able to get by with testing a couple of apps before
putting in the book. I don't think exhaustive testing is necessary.
The most obvious candidate for testing seems to to be hal:
$ ldd /usr/bin/lshal
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libdbus-glib-1.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.1 (0xb7f18000)
libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0xb7edf000)
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0xb7e5a000)
libhal.so.1 => /usr/lib/libhal.so.1 (0xb7e51000)
libdbus-1.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.1 (0xb7e22000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0xb7e0c000)
libpopt.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpopt.so.0 (0xb7e03000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7ce2000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f3a000)
Another good candidate is rsync.
