This part of /usr/bin/texi2dvi if test $? != 0; then cat "$version_test_dir/txiversion.out" cat "$version_test_dir/txiversion.err" >&2 error 1 "texinfo.tex appears to be broken, quitting." fi is dead code. The whole script is run under "set -e", so if $TEX fails, the script will be termined with no error message shown.So, what do you suggest then? Should we/upstream simply remove that code block?
On the constrary, the error message is crucial to successful debugging of text2dvi failures. So I'd like texi2dvi to display it, rather than terminate prematurely.
