   I first encountered install-info around 1996 (the man page is dated
   1994) as a Perl script written by Ian Jackson, as I wrote earlier.  ...

I do not know who wrote install-info first.  However, two different
programs of the same name were written.  Each solved the problem, but
worked differently.... :-(

In the past, I had some problems when I both built my own programs
from scratch and used Debian programs.  The conflicts meant that I
could not install Debian programs.  I have not had such problems in
the past couple of years.   :-)

Either the two programs now work together or one has been dropped or I
have not excited the conflict.
