install-info complains about missing dir file name on dpkg-reconfigure

[PeterPall]

Binary package hint: emacsen-common

How to trigger this bug:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow emacsen-common

The result I got:
emacsen-common: Handling removal of emacsen flavor emacs
emacsen-common: Handling removal of emacsen flavor emacs23
emacsen-common: purging byte-compiled files for emacs23
emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor emacs
emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor emacs23
emacsen-common: byte-compiling for emacs23
Wrote /etc/emacs23/site-start.d/00debian-vars.elc
Wrote /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/debian-startup.elc
This is not dpkg install-info anymore, but GNU install-info
See the man page for ginstall-info for command line arguments
install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information.

The result I expected: Not to get the last three lines containing error messages.

Why this is important:
It hinders dpkg -a from finishing successfully.

Might this be related to Bug #198421?

PeterPall: not really, no. See the linked Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/604164 for the upstream fix (released in Debian emacsen-common 1.4.20)
