Package: octave2.9
Version: 2.9.5-7
Severity: normal

Using `info-emacs-info' (within Emacs) makes the command `doc' fail with 
the error message:

 error in process filter: byte-code: Info file /usr/share/info does not exist
 error in process filter: Info file /usr/share/info does not exist


I think the problem lies in the order of the arguments passed to the 
info program, which is different from what `info-emacs-info' expects.

Issuing

 doc "whos"

in an Octave terminal outside Emacs launches the program (as shown by 
"ps x"):

 info --directory /usr/share/info --file /usr/share/info/octave2.9.info --index-search whos

while the first line of `info-emacs-info' is

 cmd="(Info-find-node \"$2\" \"Top\")"


A simple experiment from a bash confirmed this: when `--file' is the 
first option passed to the info program, `info-emacs-info' works.


Regards,
Bernardo
