I think this might be indeed the case. What I did was actually to edit the postinst script and rebuild the .deb. Now it works and I can build TeXworks successfully. Your suggestion might have been a better solution, though. What I did is inelegant at best and dangerous at worst! :)<br>
<br>Anyway, thanks for the answer.<br><br>- Iwan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 5:25 AM, Karl Berry <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:karl@freefriends.org">karl@freefriends.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Is the exact install-info invocation shown?<br>
<br>
I expect that the underlying problem is that Debian install-info is<br>
different from GNU (texinfo) install-info. Perhaps you are getting GNU<br>
i-i, say from TeX Live, and the package is certainly expecting Debian.<br>
If so, there's an easy solution: (re)move the TL install-info.<br>
