Package: wget Version: 1.12.1-1 Severity: serious Hi,
Those files are updated by install-info at installation time. They should not be part of any package. If they are, things like the following may happen (as in my case of updating wget from 1.11.4-4 to 1.12-1 on kfreebsd-i386): [...] Preparing to replace wget 1.11.4-4 (using .../wget_1.12-1_kfreebsd-i386.deb) ...
