How did you end up with /usr/share/info being a file? Did you create it? I didn't create it. I think it was created during the installation of another package, but I'm not positive. Well, I don't think this is a problem in dpkg, but given the lack of information I don't know where this could be reassigned. If you still have the logs from that time around, could you send to the bug report /var/log/dpkg.log /var/log/apt/term.log and /var/log/aptitude, or whatever rotated log might be appropriate? thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
