After doing apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade on my debian unstable
system some troubles occur:

Hi Nikolay,
] Setting up gzip (1.3.12-3.2) ...
] install-info(/usr/share/info/gzip.info): warning, ignoring confusing
] INFO-DIR-ENTRY in file.
This bit means that the line in:
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* Gzip: (gzip). The gzip command for compressing files.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
isn't matching m/^\*\s*([^:]+):(\s*\(([^\)]+)\)\.|:)\s*/
It needs to be:
"*"
spaces
text "Gzip"
":"
spaces
"("
text "gzip"
")"
"." or ":"
spaces
anything "The gzip command for..."
]
] No `START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY' and no `This file documents'.
This is a result of it skipping the line above.
If you invoke "install-info --debug /usr/share/info/gzip.info" as root
you might get a bit more information about what's going on.
] /usr/share/info/gzip.info seems to be in place and doesn't contain any
] garbage. Also it isn't empty
]
] np-note:~# cat /usr/share/info/gzip.info | grep START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
] START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
] START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
/usr/share/info/gzip.info should not exist -- the gzip package includes
/usr/share/info/gzip.info.gz (ie, compressed). You should be able to check
this with "dpkg -S /usr/share/info/gzip*", which will probably say:
dpkg: /usr/share/info/gzip.info not found.
gzip: /usr/share/info/gzip.info.gz
Once you've gotten rid of the old gzip.info, /usr/share/info/gzip.info.gz
from gzip should have an md5sum of:
6de19847e02d4a3659b83ea18bd60d80 /usr/share/info/gzip.info.gz
and a sha1sum of:
1c5f4d8b10c6640ae90e920d9265a1b46783a64c /usr/share/info/gzip.info.gz
Bug closed with this message -- if getting rid of the uncompressed
gzip.info doesn't fix things, please reopen it with more details.
Cheers,
aj
