debian developers: My problem with installing the beta version of Debian 2.0 seems to be centered around the /usr/sbin/install-info script. This script is included in the dpkg package. It seems that every time this script is called from a pre or post installation or removal script of a package (which is not always depending on the package), an error occurs with respect to the the /usr/info/dir.lock file. This file being present causes errors in the install-info script and the remaining installation of the package.
My workaround was to create a dummy install-info script that simply does nothing. I will not get info files installed, but I don't need them on this print-server machine. This is not ideal, but I don't know enough about the error to report it as a bug (how this problem came up in the first place?). -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ |James D.
