Bug#683201: texlive-font-utils: Invalid info dir entry
Package: texlive-font-utils
Version: 2012.20120611-1
Severity: normal
The file /usr/share/info/mf2pt1.info.gz contains (modulo unzipping) the
following:
INFO-DIR-SECTION TeX
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* mf2pt1:: Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from Metafont source
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
This is not a valid info direntry, because it doesn't specify the info
file. A valid entry should look something like
INFO-DIR-SECTION TeX
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* mf2pt1: (mf2pt1). Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from Metafont source
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
This causes corruption of the info dir file each time it is regenerated
by update-info-dir. Of course install-info should be more robust and
deal with this gracefully - I will soon file a separate bug for that,
and cross-link it from here.
