The duplicate status is correct. However it's the latest in a series,
between ubuntu and debian, going back at least to 2008, of half a dozen
or so duplicates.
Its' time to pay attention.

There are other scenarios except texlive / texinfo. The problem is in
dpkg and it is being addressed. My plan is to author a separate bug
report against dpkg just so there is a convenient and understandable
The warning appears to be about the version in /usr/sbin being slated
for removal from Debian / Ubuntu; any script using an explicit path will
break when that happens. (Maybe it should suppress the warning if it's
not being called from a script, though; but that seems like a very
unimportant
Observations:
1. Hiding /usr/local/bin/install-info (which was the old GNU texinfo, v
4.8) enabled aptitude to finish cleanly.
2. Package management software operating in vendor (in this Ubuntu)
territory, i.e., using the vendor's package database, should insulate
itself from PATH components
There is a long and convoluted history of problems introduced by
install-info incompatibilities. dpkg used to ship its own version of
install-info which was not plug-compatible with GNU's. That part I
believe is now fixed but there are still many problems when dpkg expects
a particular version

The call to install-info seems to be at the end of /var/lib/dpkg/info
/emacsen-common.postinst:

install-info --remove --quiet emacs
But now what is install-info?

install-info is /usr/local/bin/install-info
