It looks like this problem was just fixed in findutils 4.4.2-1ubuntu1....
>From the changelog.Debian.gz file:
findutils (4.4.2-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
* Don't depend on dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info.
The purpose of this dependency, pursuant to a "should" directive in
policy, is to ensure that /usr/share/info/dir is properly rebuilt during
upgrades. Unfortunately, this dependency introduces a loop on upgrades
from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS that can't be broken without the use of
--force-depends:
libc6 Depends: findutils (>= 4.4.0-2ubuntu2)
findutils Depends: dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info
dpkg Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.11)
Since it isn't the end of the world if the info directory isn't rebuilt
when doing a partial upgrade of just findutils, this is the safest place
to break that loop. We can drop this change after Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is
released.
