Right, I forgot about the Break stuff. Right.

Ok. Do you have an idea how to test *all* packages containing info files
for success when using ginstall-info? I checked the Contents file
$ zgrep usr/share/info/ Contents-amd64.gz | awk '{print$2}' | sort |
uniq | wc -l
424
so 424 packages ... I don't want to download all of them, install them
plus their dependencies ... uaaa.
At least getting all the info files itself would already be fine,
unpacking /usr/share/info dirs from all packages, uaaa.
BTW, I found that some packages install their info files below
/usr/share/info: emacs-21, emacs-22, lilypond, xemacs-21, xnee (not the
package names) but into sub-directories. Uaahhhh.
I guess I have to rewrite the update-info-dir script anyway to make it
more robust ... help much appreciated!
Best wishes
Norbert
