A error message telling me that the options giving to install-info are
wrong. I just do not have the correct error message by hand as I did
not save it. Sorry.

I see no way to _not_ reproduce it. Every installation in the last
months did fall over this issue. As I told even ubuntu has this bug in
the newest LTS release.
However, I will try a new install the next days and see what I can do
with it.
