Bug#440739: check.info: syntax error in metadata

[Philippe Normand]

Hi,

This bug is still present on mips platform. It triggers a build
failure
for Pigment package which depends on it. See


http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=pigment&ver=0.3.1-2&arch=mips&stamp=1191269708&file=log

Bug#440739: check.info: syntax error in metadata

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Package: check
Version: 0.9.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable (uninstallable)

| Setting up check (0.9.5-1) ...
| install-info(/usr/share/info/check.info): warning, ignoring confusing 
INFO-DIR-ENTRY in file.
| 
| No `START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY' and no `This file documents'.
| install-info(/usr/share/info/check.info): unable to determine description for 
`dir' entry - giving up
| dpkg: error processing check (--configure):
|  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I think the problem may be the presence of two INFO-DIR-SECTION lines
with other text in between.
