I've looked in /var/lib/dpkg/info/util-linux.postinst (slink version):
---------
install-info --quiet --section "Development" "Development" \
--description="System V interprocess communication facilities" \
/usr/info/ipc.info.gz
---------
So there _are_ quotes around "System V ...". You should edit the file, and
re-run the installation (or just "dpkg --configure --pending").
