That is what I thought 'dir' was for, and I guessed that that is what install-info did. However, it does not make sense to me that the previous dir needs to be deleted first, before redoing install-info for all the packages already installed. Assuming the mysql package user does have write permissions to `dir', why is it not sufficient to simply run a command such as the following?: install-info mysql.info dir 2>/dev/null I do not recall any other package needing to "rm -v dir" first.
