It seems that /usr/sbin/intall-info is missing. This program is provided
in the dpkg package, so it should be there. Maybe someone removed it by
mistake. Try re-installing dpkg_1.4.0.7.deb again. With the apparent state
of the system, you would do well to run 'dpkg --clear-avail' before
continuing the upgrade. (if you haven't already) This should allow ldso
and libc5 to install. Then upgrade dpkg and go for a dselect installation.
If you want to install tetex in place of current latex packages, the
texbin package will need to be removed before the dselect installation
begins.
Hope this helps,
