The move to install-info from GNU was concerted and organized together
with the dpkg team. Please don't overexaggerate the problem. Nobody
else can reproduce the problme you are having, so it is definitely
not critical.

No, because other people in the thread have told you that they made
installations without any problems .. so it is unreproducible with
missing infos .. so it is not critical.

Ahhh, really. Then please give a *detailed* report how to reproduce it.

You not even provided terminal logs, NOTHING. No line of actual output
of dpkg/apt/whatever???
Is that the first time you report a bug? Ever heard about how to report
a good bug?
I am not used to read from the crystal ball, and I will ignore further
bug reports (as I did it till now) of that level. Your bug report
is of the level of a typical Ubuntu user:
It breaks the system, fix it!
Well, if you want that, get a professional service and pay for it, but
leave me in peace.
If you are interested in fixing things, don't come wasting our precious
time by writing bug reports with as much information as oxygen on the moon.
Best wishes
