| exit $result
| /usr/bin/install-info --dir-file=/usr/share/info/dir \
|    --info-file=/usr/share/info/bash.info.gz

Thanks for the report.  That stems from writing a self-contained
postinstall script, but then cygport adding additional commands.  Right
now, the existence of the _PostInstallLast package takes care of this, so
bypassing the cygport-added command doesn't hurt.  But it would be better
to let cygport do its thing, so I will be correcting this in my next bash
release.
