Bug#43757: My emacs can't find some info files
Package: debian-policy, emacs19, glibc-doc
Version: not known, 19.34-21, 2.1.1-12
I have:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-===============-==============-============================================
ii emacs19 19.34-21 The GNU Emacs editor.
ii emacs19-el 19.34-21 GNU Emacs LISP (.el) files.
ii emacsen-common 1.4.8 Common facilities for all emacsen.
ii glibc-doc 2.1.1-12 GNU C Library: Documentation
When I look at /usr/info/dir it has an entry for libc. However,
libc.info is in /usr/share/info, not /usr/info, and Emacs can't find
it.
I think this is a bug in policy, which encouraged people to change the
locations of info files without thinking about transition.
Ian.
