Make install-info use in scriptlets failsafe

--- Additional comment from jakub on 2007-03-03 11:58:47 EST ---

Fixed in compat-gcc-34-3.4.6-7 in rawhide.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This fix was (probably) inherited from Rawhide to current 5.6 Fast erratum. We have the fix in erratum already but not corresponding bug.

QE policy here is to stay on safe side and have a approved bug per fix.

From what I can see here http://cvs.devel.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/rpms/compat-gcc-34/RHEL-5/compat-gcc-34.spec.diff?r1=1.5;r2=1.6;f=h this is no risk fix in specfile. Please approve this bug to 5.6 Fast.
