Your system is probably in a broken state, try "apt-get -f install" to see if it can finish the upgrade you interrupted.

Same with me, it says a package a could not be found that allows the action to complete. What package should I install?

If someone is still struggling with this issue regarding install-info, i soved it by removing install-info. At the same time also the info-package was removed. When this was finished, i simply re-installed install-info + info. This solved the problem for me
