dpkg bug?

[David Perkinson]

Hi,

I got the following error message when running fink's dselect on my
iMac.  When I ran 'install-info --help', as suggested by the eror
message, I noticed that --info-dir=DIR is an option but not --infodir.
Could this be the problem?  How should I proceed?

Thanks,
Dave Perkinson
