Note: I wouldn't make the debhelper-bug case if it were just that /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i386-linux//install-info was on the path: that's obviously a departure from the normal settings for /etc/environment, and possibly is asking for trouble. However, the fact that it's also on /usr/local/bin, which is currently earlier in the PATH string than /usr/sbin... to me, it's unreasonable to expect the user to know to avoid installing GNU install-info (or any install-info incompatible with debhelper-generated script expectations) to /usr/local/bin. debhelper should probably go out of its way to ensure it's using the right tool. Explicitly stating the dir file to be updated, would also solve this specific problem, but IMO wouldn't be as robust as the explicit invocation.
OTOH, the installed "install-info" program was also obviously misconfigured (at build time) to update a non-existant "dir" file; that aspect would be TexLive's fault. -- package wget 1.11.4-2ubuntu1.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444917 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
