Well, you can see the commandline, and if you can muster your way through the perl that is the install-info script, you may be able to track this down. If you've gone and done something like try to remove /usr/info and /usr/share/info, you may get stuck in an infinite loop (that's what happened to me, anyway). If you don't care about info pages, this is how I got past it:
echo "* Menu:" > /usr/info/dir
You may want to make a backup copy of this file first if you try this.
