-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Package: install-info Version: 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Severity: critical
The tool /usr/bin/install-info breaks the configuration in dpkg as dpkg uses install-info internal (dpkg, debconf, dpkg-reconfigure, I am not sure which exactly but that makes no sens either). The configuration on newly installed systems will not be finished as the error brakes the configuration step. I was able to reproduce this bug not only on debian than also on ubuntu (the LTS version). The bug is easily to fix. Just rename /usr/bin/install-info to /usr/bin/broken-install-info and everything works well as the /usr/sbin/install-info too is used now. The result of this very critical bug is a completely unconfigured system after new install. The bug happens independent if installed with debian-installer or debootstrap or complete by hand. Please note that the bug is there for some time now and I am not sure when it was issued. If I know correctly even stable is concerned. However, oldstable was fine. - -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (800, 'unstable'), (700, 'stable'), (60, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages install-info depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib install-info recommends no packages. install-info suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information - -- Klaus Ethgen http://www.ethgen.de/ pub 2048R/D1A4EDE5 2000-02-26 Klaus Ethgen <kl...@ethgen.de> Fingerprint: D7 67 71 C4 99 A6 D4 FE EA 40 30 57 3C 88 26 2B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBTG6Ir5+OKpjRpO3lAQpqxAf/VVeJoXOA7wCfFWC+jdjWmixZ1dNbWZdC uqUqpbGSbvCBPVbBJEQaH+KryTU+V3/nFJNA3J45EplJzNaa1/nAWE3ywF/mCMjV m49myXHLD0CDpnu+M3iv8TcmLjqCV21dzHPeKjypYBoj5zpoZnl3Ud9hBwDzqg5G tvS/mx9TCtpxFeg/ayudQcJ+0knLdmrjJKLjfBzf9wyneJl3JB7+xrRy/B7os+4F RBVsJyxLLO+K2M1XBFGyChVVAaukaXEAdbNmEHl93VldAQgp1MtV7SYz50duwOlC KEbokLPSIi/xu1nSk7If2xpwfI6Skl3JCNvrKx3ao3jnHe8Wjtsk9A== =8/jj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
