Subtle problem with gettext.info

[Santiago Vila]

Hi.

I finally fixed the Debian package for gettext 0.17, but when I'm
going to install it, this is what happens:

Setting up gettext-base (0.17-1) ...
Setting up gettext (0.17-1) ...
install-info(/usr/share/info/gettext.info):
dpkg: error processing gettext (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gettext

The gettext.info file from 0.16.1 was like this:

 This is gettext.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.8 from
 gettext.texi.

 INFO-DIR-SECTION GNU Gettext Utilities
 START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
 * gettext: (gettext).                          GNU gettext utilities.
 * autopoint: (gettext)autopoint Invocation.    Copy gettext infrastructure.
 [...]

and gettext.info from 0.17 is like this:

 INFO-DIR-SECTION GNU Gettext Utilities
 START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
 This is gettext.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from gettext.texi.

 * gettext: (gettext).                          GNU gettext utilities.
 * autopoint: (gettext)autopoint Invocation.    Copy gettext infrastructure.
 * envsubst: (gettext)envsubst Invocation.      Expand environment variables.


Is Debian install-info being picky about the new gettext.info, or is
this a bug in makeinfo 4.11 who generated the file?

[ Cc:ing dpkg developers, as Bug #451954 was very similar to this ].

Thanks.
