Package: texinfo
Version: 4.13a.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal

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.

Apparently this was fixed upstream a while ago:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/commit/?id=35e982c5cfcfc15b65cc6b8d94d5ea259a42da3e

What else kind of error situations need to be handled in your opinion?


It's good enough for me. :-)
