+The `install-info' supplied with Debian Linux 1.3, and installed as
+`/usr/sbin/install-info' is not compatible with the official
+`install-info' from the Texinfo distribution.  XEmacs package
+installation requires GNU `install-info'.
+
+We hope this issue will be made moot in the next release of Debian
+Linux.  For now, Debian users need to get the Texinfo distribution
+(version 3.11 or above), then build and install GNU `install-info'
+where it will not conflict with the Debian version.  When installing
+XEmacs packages, check the Makefile to make sure it refers to the GNU
+version of `install-info'.
