dpkg/libstdc++2.9 trouble!

[aphro <nate@aphroland.org>]

Don't know if this is a bug in the removal script for this package or not
but this is what I get: (both when used with -r and --purge)

[root@aphro ~] dpkg -r libstdc++2.9-dev 
(Reading database ... 42362 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing libstdc++2.9-dev ... 
install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for
more information. dpkg: error processing libstdc++2.9-dev (--remove):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were
encountered while processing:
 libstdc++2.9-dev

I can rm the files manually but how would i tell the database that the
package is removed ?

thanks! getting tons of probs compiling c++ apps and hopin that reverting
to a pure 2.7.2.3 config with libg++ and stuff will help fix.
