I don't believe this is true. Perhaps your index just needs to be rebuilt, so that your "info" command knows about the *.info files which are already present. Can you give us some details? What command did you run, what output did it give you, and what output did you expect instead? >From the other direction: what package did you have to reinstall? What was the output of "dpkg -L pkgname" before the reinstall, and what was the output after? Which specific file was missing?
