Well, there is some information that may prove to be relevant, like
- The version of dpkg (the package which contains install-info)
- The output of "ls -ld /usr/info /usr/share/info"
- The log produced by
"strace -f -e file -o fileaccesslog dpkg -i util-linux_2.11l-3_i386.deb"
which probably shows what dir couldn't be locked.
