install-info/dpkg b0rked ?
Hi,
Currently a few packages(example: sed, findutils) ave been failing to
install on my Debian testing system. The problem seems to be a cryptic
error message which comes up when I run apt. Here's the output:
topa@sting:~$ sudo apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done

Setting up cpio (2.9-6) ...

dpkg: error processing cpio (--configure):

I think the problem centers around install-info which is a part of
dpkg. I'm currently working around this by disabling the post-removal
and post-installation scripts.
Any way to fix this issue ?
