Can't remove Gnus! Help!



Hello!

I am trying to remove Gnus from my Woody (x86).  The response from
dpkg -r gnus is:

  # dpkg -r gnus
  (Reading database ... 155492 files and directories currently installed.)
  Removing gnus ...
  install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information.
  dpkg: error processing gnus (--remove):
   subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
  install-info: unrecognized option `--description=The news reader Gnus.'
          Try `install-info --help' for a complete list of options.
  dpkg: error while cleaning up:
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   gnus

I have tried using the --force-all option, but this doesn't help.  Can
anybody help me get rid of Gnus?

Thank you for your help!
