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.
