Bug#199204: install-info: gives a hint only when using english locale
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.10
Severity: minor
When locking /usr/share/info/dir fails, install-info matches the error
message against a regexp to see if it should give the user a hint
(delete stale lockfile).
However this doesn't work if user is using a non-english LC_MESSAGES,
because then "$!" won't match even if the error indeed is EEXIST
