Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: emacs23

reading manuals with info reader do not work on emacs23 works with
emacs22.

M-x info

go to a manual page that is compressed like the libc node.

I get this is the message buffer

Composing main Info directory...done
unzipping libc.info.gz...done
(gzip -c -q -d) libc.info.gz...
byte-code: Wrong type argument: characterp, "gzip"

This works fine in emacs22.
