are you sure it's 'stuck' --- this might take a while:

#!/bin/sh
rm -f /usr/info/dir
for d in /usr/info /usr/share/info; do
    for f in $d/*; do
	case "$f" in
	    *\**)
		;;
	    dir|dir.info*)
		;;
	    *-[0123456789]*)
		;;
	    *)
		install-info --quiet $f /usr/share/info/dir ||
		install-info  --quiet --entry="* $$f ($f): $$f" $$f
/usr/share/info/dir
		;;
	esac
    done
done >/dev/null 2>&1

Try running it by hand & letting it finish, then run setup again w/o
selecting any more packages.
