[tex-live] install-info incompatible to debian

[Hartmut Henkel]

Hi,

just had problems with installing some non-texlive debian package:

Richte gcj-3.4 ein (3.4.3-13sarge1) ...
install-info: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden for Development
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von gcj-3.4 (--configure):
 Unterprozess post-installation script gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück

as here texlive/2007/bin/x86_64 is in the PATH, the

# /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/x86_64-linux/install-info --version
install-info (GNU texinfo) 4.8
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

is taken instead of the original debian-provided one:

# which install-info
/usr/sbin/install-info
# install-info --version
Debian install-info 1.10.28.  Copyright (C) 1994,1995

After removal of the texlive version of install-info, the package
installation works without problems.

Is install-info a required binary within the texlive distro?

Regards, Hartmut
