Package: bashdb Version: 4.2.0.6-1 Severity: serious Hello,
bashdb 4.2.0.6-1 started to ship
/usr/share/info/dir.gz
which is very likely not intentional.
First of all, this file is usually managed by install-info and thus gets
overwritten regularly which causes bashdb's package checksums to fail.
Second, shipping this file triggers install-info to switch from plain
to a compressed Info directory format, which breaks info viewers that
cannot handle compressed dir files, like Emacs (see #543564).
Third, (re)installing or upgrading bashdb always corrupts the info
directory this way.
The last time such bugs showed up (see #537835 and #543911) they've been
caused by an install-info transition (see Sven's comment in #543911),
maybe this helps in resolving the current issue.
This issue persists in 4.2.0.6-2, btw.
Thanks for your work & regards
Mario
