Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu. Looking at previous builds logs (like https://launchpadlibrarian.net/382624327/buildlog_ubuntu-bionic- amd64.freeipmi_1.4.11-1.1ubuntu4.1_BUILDING.txt.gz), or trying a build locally on a fresh 18.04 container, I don't see the error message you mention.
Did you make any other modifications to the package before starting the build? I found this in config/missing: ... makeinfo*) echo "You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or" echo "any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual." echo "You might want to install the Texinfo package:" ... Maybe that applies to your case? ** Changed in: freeipmi (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to freeipmi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1793168 Title: 'texinfo' missing from Build-Depends To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeipmi/+bug/1793168/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
