While installing GNU Source Installer on Ubuntu 6.06, I ran into the problem that install-info binary provided with the "dpkg" package is incompatible with the GNU install-info. The "texinfo" package has the gnu version, and it installs to /usr/bin/ginstall-info (This is probably the same behaviour with debian, but I didn't check it). Configure script of libsrcinst can't find and use it in this location, the following patch enables it to use GNU install-info. I don't know if I broke something with this patch, but the original script didn't use the variable apparently. If there is a command line option included for this variable, it will be very useful.
