Hello
I am using a Emacs with no custom config. Here is the version info
Emacs : GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 3, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.24,
cairo version 1.16.0)
of 2021-03-20
Package: Org mode version 9.4.4 (release_9.4.4 @
/usr/local/share/emacs/28.0.50/lisp/org/)
When I export the following snippet to TexInfo format the export fails.
** To add a package: (submission, submit)
Adding a basic package is very simple. There are thorough
instructions below, but the gist of it is that you:
(FWIW, the above snippet is from the README file of Emacs's official
ELPA repo. cf.
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/tree/README#n80)
The error report in *Messages* buffer is

This is how test.texi looks like

When in texi buffer I do Menu -> TexInfo->Makeinfo buffer, I get the
same error. This is not surprising. Next, I removed the menu entry by
hand and did Menu->TexInfo->Make Menu. I get the following input
\input texinfo @c -*- texinfo -*-

The above texi output compiles well to info, and the resulting info file
is browsable.
Looks like the TexInfo exporter may have to take some extra steps when
there is a 'colon' in the headline text.
