problem dist-upgrade diff



Hi,

I was wondering if anyone else had seen this or knew how to get
around it.

I'm dist-upgrading my 3rd box to frozen (the other 2 went fine), and
during the beginning of the install/configure phase diff dies.  I
tried dpkg'ing it directly (to isolate) and get the same error which
follows:

Rankor:~# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/diff_2.7-20_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 34222 files and directories currently
installed.)
Preparing to replace diff 2.7-18 (using
.../archives/diff_2.7-20_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement diff ...
install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information.
dpkg: warning - old post-removal script returned error exit status 1
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/diff_2.7-20_i386.deb
(--install): there is no script in the new version of the package -
giving up
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/diff_2.7-20_i386.deb

Any tips or pointers would be appreciated!
Jonathan
