Hi all,

Nothing, complain to DEBIAN (!!!!) install-info which did give the error
message. It matches:
        } elsif ($asread =~ m/^\*\s*([^:]+):(\s*\(([^\)]+)\)\.|:)\s*/) {
            $menuentry= $1;
            $description = $';

thus without leading spaces. I reassigned this bug to dpkg.

Best wishes

Norbert
