Bug Description
I got an "could not install 'install-info'" warning at the end of my upgrade, with the details "triggers looping, abandoned". Then a new warning telling me that the upgrades could not be installed, that the system might be broken, and that it was running dpkg --configure -a.
This happened at the very end of my upgrade. Things seem to be working nicely, even after rebooting, so the upgrade appears to have been successful.
