Yeah; a reinstall will re-unpack the .deb file, including the
postinstall script. That's why if you edit it, you need to make sure you
start from the "configuration" step, skipping the unpack.
Obviously, another workaround is to ensure that /usr/sbin/install-info
comes first in the path. This probably means editing your
/etc/environment.
I think a case can be made that debhelper should be hardcoding the
correct path. Gonna toss this to them, see if they bite. Obviously, this
would affect upstream/Debian as well, and I'm assuming they're probably
getting bugs on this, too.
If you folks don't mind, can you all tell me when and why you chose to
install TexLive (or other sources of install-info)? This seems to be a
sudden and recent influx of this problem, despite TexLive and debhelper
most likely always behaving this way... though TexLive could conceivably
have placed install-info in unfortunate paths only just recently.
