[Bug 667314] Re: package dpkg 1.14.24ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: unable to create `./usr/sbin/install-info': Permission denied

[Raphaël Hertzog]

This doesn't look like a dpkg bug but more a system problem. Running as
root, dpkg should have the right to create any file... it's not clear
why the kernel would disallow creation of /usr/bin/install-info.

It's either a misconfiguration in some security feature (SELinux?
SMACK?). Without further information, I believe this should be closed.
I'm thus tagging it incomplete.
