Please observe. This bug is filed against the woody-script-version.
The sid version of the install-info script includes modifications which
indicate _some_ bug fixes address the problems described below.
This simple patch should pinpoint and possibly cure some problems
which make install-info a _show stopper_ under certain conditions. One
of the bugs is over 6 years old :(
I tagged this bug 'important'. Should have been 'grave', but it would
be unfare to tag it as a 'grave' dpkg bug just because of
install-info.
The patch addresses bugs #2531, #3410, #160761, possibly others.
I also think it's _very unfortunate_ the Debian distributed
install-info perl script _does not_ emulate all the options the GNU
install-info provides (se option --dir-file in the patch).
It would be very interesting to find out _why_ a perl script is used
instead of GNU install-info. Please enlighten us!
Here's the patch:
