Package: octave2.9-info
Version: 1:2.9.19-1
Severity: normal
The octave info docs are not accessible via "info octave".
"info octave2.9" does work.
I can see in octave2.9-info.postinst that update-alternatives is
supposed to create an alternatives symlink for
/usr/share/info/octave.info.gz. Furthermore I can see that the
symlinks have notionally been created: /usr/share/info/octave.info.gz
points to /etc/alternatives/octave.info.gz, which points to
/usr/share/info/octave2.9.info.gz.
Finally, accessing the symlink directly,
"info /usr/share/info/octave.info.gz"
does work.
But the simple and "normal" usage, "info octave", fails (shows the
octave(1) man page instead of the info pages).
Thanks, Drew.
