in the past i have written about this issue. back then i manually fixed the 'dir' file. i had a clean reinstall recently, and it is back again:
install-info: menu item `gdbm_load' already exists, for file `(none)' system(/usr/bin/install-info, --info-dir=/usr/local/info, --, /usr/local/info/gdbm.info) failed: exit(1) avahi-0.6.31p13:gdbm-1.11->1.11: ok /usr/local/info/dir: Programming & development tools * gdbm_dump: gdbm_dump(gdbm). Dump the GDBM database into a flat file. * gdbm_load: gdbm_load(gdbm). Load the database from a flat file. the main entry is missing and any subsequent 'install-info' chokes on this. removing these 2 lines and running the command again succeeds. any ideas how this comes about? -f -- tap here >>> <<< with hammer for a new monitor.
