mew's install-info invocations are not failsafe against excludedocs or read-only-netsharedpath-/usr/share installations; appending "|| :" to the invocations in %post and %preun would fix it. Additionally, the (Pre)Requires(foo,bar) syntax is known to be broken in many versions of rpm, and in this case, the /sbin/install-info erase time dependency should be preun, not postun. So "Prereq(post,postun): /sbin/install-info" should be split to two and replaced by "Requires(post): /sbin/install-info" and "Requires(postun): /sbin/install-info".

fixed in 5.1-3.
