there is no "/usr/share/dict/words" in any package

$ cygcheck -p usr/share/dict/words
Found 0 matches for usr/share/dict/words

$ cygcheck -p usr/share/dict
Found 2 matches for usr/share/dict
scowl-2015.08.24-2 - scowl: Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists (installed 
binaries and support files)
scowl-2016.01.19-1 - scowl: Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists (installed 
binaries and support files)
