/usr/share/doc/xxx.template,

| postinstalls have not completed.
That works, thanks. I added preremove and made new packages.

Not at all, four eyes see more than one pair.

A) use this
wget --non-verbose \
http://cygwin.cante.net/bogofilter/setup.hint \
http://cygwin.cante.net/bogofilter/bogofilter-0.96.1-1.tar.bz2.sig \
http://cygwin.cante.net/bogofilter/bogofilter-0.96.1-1.tar.bz2 \
http://cygwin.cante.net/bogofilter/bogofilter-0.96.1-1-src.tar.bz2.sig \
http://cygwin.cante.net/bogofilter/bogofilter-0.96.1-1-src.tar.bz2
B) or this (get.sh will print further instructions)
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 955A92D8
mkdir bogofilter ; cd bogofilter
rm -f get.sh get.sh.sig
wget -q http://cygwin.cante.net/bogofilter/get.sh \
http://cygwin.cante.net/bogofilter/get.sh.sig
gpg --verify get.sh.sig get.sh &&
sh get.sh
