Package: librep-doc
Version: 0.17+svn20070119-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable (uninstallable)

librep-doc's post-installation script fails with the following messages:

> Setting up librep-doc (0.17+svn20070119-5) ...
> install-info(/usr/share/info/librep.info): warning, ignoring confusing INFO-DIR-ENTRY in file.
> 
> No `START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY' and no `This file documents'.
> install-info(/usr/share/info/librep.info): unable to determine description for `dir' entry - giving up
> dpkg: error processing librep-doc (--configure):
>  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

AFAICT, this is because the line

This is librep.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from librep.texi.

somehow wound up within the INFO-DIR-ENTRY block rather than above it
as in other files.
