Package: texinfo
Version: 4.13a.dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal


The patch applied to fix #487974 turned ~ into characters that show up
everywhere.  This might be OK when compiling texinfo files, but
texi2dvi is also used to compile (La)TeX files, where ~ should be a
space (this is documented in the manual and in the --help text of
texi2dvi).  As I'm using texi2dvi only to compile (La)TeX files these
days, this change has made the script unusable for me.


How to reproduce:

% cat >x.tex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Foo~bar.
\end{document}
% texi2dvi x.tex
% xdvi x.dvi  # <- We don't want to see any tilde in the output.

It is already fixed in unstable texinfo, I forgot to close it when
uploading the new version.

Closed it now.

For stable, I don't know if really qualifies for an update in a point release.
