Severity: grave
Package: gzip
Version: 1.3.12-3.2

After doing apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade on my debian unstable 
system some troubles occur:

Setting up gzip (1.3.12-3.2) ...
install-info(/usr/share/info/gzip.info): warning, ignoring confusing 
INFO-DIR-ENTRY in file.

No `START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY' and no `This file documents'.
install-info(/usr/share/info/gzip.info): unable to determine description for 
`dir' entry - giving up
dpkg: error processing gzip (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gzip
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

/usr/share/info/gzip.info seems to be in  place and doesn't contain any
garbage. Also it isn't empty

np-note:~# cat /usr/share/info/gzip.info | grep START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

apt-get install --reinstall gzip doesn't resolve this issue

np-note:~# dpkg --status gzip
