Hey, got the problem. I have installed lots of packages today, and 4 of them
regarding texlive had the same error as flex-old, all of them were
documentation packages.

The problem is triggered when dpkg calls install-info in the following
way(just an example file of another package):

install-info --quiet /usr/share/info/eplain.info

then install-info throws an error saying:

install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information.

That's all, it's always the same error, so as a workaround for me I've
commented this command in the postinst scripts wich showed the problem.

Why could be happening this just to me?

Greetings, Felipe.
