problem installing sw from porting center

Hello,
I am installing several gnu apps from the porting center (http://hpux.cs.utah.edu)
some packages are failing with the exact same errors

" File /usr/local/info/dir should have mtime 1095789672 but the actual mtime is 1096988633.
File /usr/local/info/dir should have size 6944 bytes but the actual size is 14483 bytes."

Sounds like something is wrong with my /usr/local/info/dir file, but I'm not even sure how that file is used.

The apps that are giving this error on installation are glib, make, gtk+, readline, bison, libiconv, gettext, gcc.

Anybody have any experience with what I'm running into?

Masaki

You probably need to re-download one or more of the depots and re-install.

You may need the install option -x reinstall=true

Thanks, your suggestion worked, at least on the first one I tried.
