You should not have overwritten the files when you installed texinfo; there's a
texinfo package which is correctly configured not to conflict with dpkg.

To fix it remove the version of texinfo you've wrongly installed; it's not
compatible with any Debian or Ubuntu package which use the dpkg version (which
predates it).
