Re: dpkg install problem
The problem is that the installation script for 'gzip' wants to update
the directory of info files ('/usr/info/dir') to contain a reference
to the gzip documentation. When it is unable to find the file
'/usr/info/dir', it exits with an error. dpkg takes this to mean that
there was something wrong with the installation of the package and
marks the package as 'broken'.
The temporary fix is to create the file /usr/info/dir, and then
running 'dpkg --configure --pending' to try to configure the packages
again. I'll look into changing install-info to be able to better cope
with /usr/info/dir being missing.
