Public bug reported:
When trying to access a topic in the help within maxima, I get a message
like the following:
(%i1) ?? bode_phase
Cannot find documentation for `bode_phase': missing info file
/usr/share/doc/maxima/info/./maxima.info-2
-- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true);
This happens to other help topics too.
The files /usr/share/info/maxima.info*.gz do exist (the package maxima-
doc is installed).
When I run "maxima -d', I get:
