Bug#882842: texi2dvi: error from pdfTeX with @var in exponent with the raw formatter command

Umpf, automake is borken like hell.
The current version is
  \def\texinfoversion{2017-08-23.19}
I am not sure what I should do with this besides recommending NOT
installing texinfo.tex files via automake but rely on the version
shipped by texinfo (the package).
