I linked /bin/sh to /bin/zsh 3.0.1. However, when installing certain
specific debian packages in linux I get the following error:
Setting up gzip (1.2.4-11) ...
install-info: read gzip -d </usr/info/gzip.info.gz |: 13
The problem doesn't happen if sh is a link to bash. I can get more
details if necessary.

I would really appreciate if you can send me more details. From that I
cannot tell anything. Note that zsh is not fully compatible with bash but
it tries to be compatible with POSIX. Please send this install-info script
and tell me as much as possuble about it knowing that I've never used
debian of dpkg.
Thanks,
Zoltan

Well, here's the installation script:
#! /bin/sh
set -e
install-info --quiet --section "General Commands" "General Commands" \
/usr/info/gzip.info.gz
I put a -x in the set command, and it does work well. However,
install-info is a perl script! I could post it, but it has 352
lines... I can send it personally if necessary.
