This error was affected by texlive2008 install. This script sets a symlink to install-info in /usr/local/bin to one of its own script. I removed the symlink and everything works.
** Changed in: texinfo (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- install-info crashes with "No dir file specified" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320919 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
