I guess you will know more about texinfo than I do (which is not much :-). see above for my motivation to make the change. Are the inputs/outputs of the two install-info's actually incompatible? If so, then a better "fix" would be to hardcode %p/sbin/install-info in the pre/postinstscripts. No problem to change this.It looks like the inputs/outputs are not compatible. I tested with the gzip package, and /usr/bin/install-info wants to use a file /sw/share/info/dir to index stuff but we don't have that file. On the other hand, /sw/sbin/install-info doesn't need that indexing file. So I think this should be changed to hardode %p/sbin/install-info in the two scripts, as you suggested.
