Ok, I see. We have a test there that if the INFODIR=/usr/share/info
exists:
if [ ! -d "$INFODIR" ] ; then
echo "Not a directory: $INFODIR." >&2
exit 1
fi
but that returns 1, so that is the reason why it fails.
But can you explain me *how* update-info-dir was called without
that dir present and no info file installed?
It should be called only via the file/dir trigger mechanism, so I
somehow don't understand why this is a problem, and that makes me
a bit reluctant to change the current behaviour.
Best wishes
Norbert
