Bug Description

Binary package hint: heroes-common

When installing this package for dapper (AMD64), the following output appears in the console:

Richte heroes-common ein (0.21-6) ...

No `START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY' and no `This file documents'.
install-info(/usr/share/info/heroes.info): unable to determine description for `dir' entry - giving up
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von heroes-common (--configure):
 Unterprozess post-installation script gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 heroes-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The game will work nevertheless, but this error prevents a successful upgrade to dapper if previousely installed. It could be installed without this error in breezy.

This is still an issue in edgy; obviously, because it's the same package version.

Seems to be caused by the heroes.info file being missing:
$ zcat /usr/share/info/heroes.info.gz |wc
