Strange, I didn't encounter any problems.
The postinstall script is quite short, and straightforward; also I don't think it has changed since 1.11.4-2ubuntu1 (no .1). It just invokes install-info.
Please verify that the script is continuing to have problems, by first running "sudo dpkg --configure --pending", and if that still fails, run "sudo sh /var/lib/ dpkg/info/ wget.postinst" . If it gives no output, it should mean success, which would be strange, since that's all that the dpkg command ought to have been doing (it's just to double-check).
Finally, if those still fail, run "sudo install-info /usr/share/ info/wget. info", which is the same command present in that script, except that the script adds --quiet. Paste any interesting output here.
