I just got hit by that bug. Apparently there was some problem with initramfs-tools, according to the log) which caused aptitude safe-upgrade to terminate and the next time I started aptitude, I was told to dpkg-reconfigure -a, which didn't work, because of this bug.
After some googling and finally looking at /usr/bin/install-info, I ran DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION="bogus" dpkg-reconfigure -a (OK, now I'm going to figure out what caused aptitude to terminate unexpectedly, because I didn't see any error message. Different problem.) -- Friedrich Delgado Friedrichs <frie...@nomaden.org> TauPan on Ircnet and Freenode ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
