This doesn't look like a dpkg bug but more a system problem. Running as
root, dpkg should have the right to create any file... it's not clear
why the kernel would disallow creation of /usr/bin/install-info.
It's either a misconfiguration in some security feature (SELinux?
SMACK?). Without further information, I believe this should be closed.
I'm thus tagging it incomplete.
** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
