It seems that /usr/sbin/intall-info is missing. This program is provided
in the dpkg package, so it should be there. Maybe someone removed it by
mistake. Try re-installing dpkg_1.4.0.7.deb again. With the apparent state
of the system, you would do well to run 'dpkg --clear-avail' before
continuing the upgrade. (if you haven't already) This should allow ldso
and libc5 to install. Then upgrade dpkg and go for a dselect installation.
If you want to install tetex in place of current latex packages, the
texbin package will need to be removed before the dselect installation
begins.
Hope this helps,
Dwarf
