according to the changelog it needs the install-info command from the new dpkg tree. It also calls dpkg-statoverride in the postinst (or somewhere). Perhaps you should mail the maintainer directly and ask for help. BTW [EMAIL PROTECTED] always reaches the maintainer so in this case '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' is an alias for the maintainer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
