Hi Dominik, thanks very much. Actually, I need you to type: dpkg -S `which install-info` not dpkg -S which install-info But so far I can say this: the output from your install-info --version is different from what it ought to be. Jaunty's install-info is dpkg's (and from the dpkg -S output

Removing Confirmed status from wget, since the bug won't be with the wget package. Someone might argue that the wget.postinst script should hard-code the path to install-info, but even making that case, the bug would be with debhelper, since that's what generated the script. But let's not open a

Gah, launchpad threw out my comments to the status change. This is conceivably a problem in dpkg (where install-info comes from), rather than wget. In fact, since coreutils.postinst has exactly the same scriptlet, and wget's is will not have changed since 2ubuntu1, I suspect that's the case.

dpkg-1.14.24ubuntu1 seems not to have the string No dir file specified in it. GNU's install-info does. But GNU's install-info isn't installed as install-info on Jaunty (I believe it is on Karmic, though). You're certain this is 9.04, and not 9.10? Are you using any non-standard repositories?

Strange, I didn't encounter any problems. The postinstall script is quite short, and straightforward; also I don't think it has changed since 1.11.4-2ubuntu1 (no .1). It just invokes install-info. Please verify that the script is continuing to have problems, by first running sudo dpkg
