Package: maxima Version: 5.37.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I cannot seem to view the documentation for any function. This seems to be a repeat of bug #788430 (the files are in /usr/share/info rather than /usr/share/doc/maxima/info). As in that bug, a workaround is to copy the files from "share/info" to "share/doc". Sample session to illustrate the bug: $ maxima Maxima 5.37.3 http://maxima.sourceforge.net using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.12 Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING. Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter. The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information.
