Hi all! In my opinion the severity of this bug should be critical: It breaks installation of unrelated software. Just to show some logs:
Setting up blitz++ (0.9-1) ... Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/Blitz++ <-- HERE library/ at /usr/sbin/install-info line 360. Later on, this caused the following (which also happened for many other packages): Setting up flex (2.5.33-9) ... install-info(/usr/share/info/flex.info): failed to lock dir for editing! File exists try deleting /usr/share/info/dir.lock? dpkg: error processing flex (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Setting up cl-asdf (1.101-1) ... install-info(/usr/share/info/asdf.info): failed to lock dir for editing! File exists try deleting /usr/share/info/dir.lock? dpkg: error processing cl-asdf (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 If nobody objects, I'll upgrade the severity of this bug to ensure the current version won't enter etch. Cheers, Michael
