Bug#107098: install-info problem

thanks
textutils has always included the file
/usr/share/info/textutils.info.gz, not the file
/usr/share/info/textutils.info .
Nevertheless, if install-info is asked to install the
latter, it ought to check for the former. I can't see
why it didn't in this case. However, I don't have the
versions of textutils and dpkg that the submitter
originally used. Can he provide more information?
In order to clarify the error message, I suggest the
following patch to install-info. I have dpkg version
1.10.4 installed.
