Hello, on Ubuntu 17.10 which to my knowledge is based on Debian
unstable, installing Emacs via $sudo apt install emacs and then trying
to view the Emacs manual using C-h r fails with error "Info file emacs
does not exist" The same set of instructions on Ubuntu 16.04 works and
one ends up with a local copy of the GNU emacs manual. Did the
documentation get delegated to another package or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Nishan
You might be missing a package:
apt install *emacs24-common-non-dfsg*
Core documentation has been split due to dfsg issues.
Refer to:

for some light bedtime reading :-)
Kind regards,
