Technically it's a packaging bug. The scripts should have execute permissions like all the shell scripts in /etc/postinstall and /etc/preremove. John, I fixed that on Sourceware and created a 3.8-4 package with execute permissions for postinstall and preremove scripts. It shouldn't affect postinstall, though. When calling `bash -c script', then bash runs these scripts as long as the user has read permissions on Cygwin. Which is actually kind of a bug in Cygwin. I've put that on my TODO list.
