It's so weird... I think this is an error too, but in another bug report the guys didn't agree with me.
I insist that as a way to get out of any of these problems, you go to the /var/lib/dpkg/info/ folder and edit the PACKAGE.postinst script (which is a text file with commands written inside) and commend(preppend a#character) all the install-info commands. Because the problem originates with a wrong install-info command(wrong because of a missing argument). You can also try to use my util-linux.postinst script, I've seen that the file has been updated and it doesn't have the comments I made when I had the problem. my current version is 2.14-1ubuntu2 running Ubuntu 8.10 amd64, but I think the postinst is the same for i386. I have attached my postinst file, hope this helps you. Greetings, Felipe.
