Hi Micah, After I updated this (and asked for your input), we found that only Karmic has the fix. The 'install-info' package is new, and only available on Karmic.
And, yes, the coreutils task should -- in my view -- have been set to Invalid: install-info is *not* a coreutils package, at least nowadays; I do not know how it was before (before being < ~2008, when I started looking at coreutils issues). Now, both 'ginstall-info' and 'install- info' are in the 'install-info' package... but if I run 'ginstall-info --help' I get a "Please report bugs to bug-texi...@gnu.org". Since the versions on both the texinfo package and on ginstall-info match, I would guess it was originally there. The message issued when you run (from the command line) '/usr/bin /install-info' says: This is not dpkg install-info anymore, but GNU install-info See the man page for ginstall-info for command line arguments install-info: No input file specified; try --help for more information. Whereas /usr/sbin/install-info is still the dpkg version... So, it seems to my humble self that this is still a temporary bypass, and eventually dpkg's version will be dropped. -- man pages suggest info pages that don't exist. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
