Please CC me if you wish to reply, I'm not subscribed. I've just done an in-place upgrade of texinfo to test some possible fixes for a different package. Makeinfo used to be a separate program, and the attempt to symlink it to texi2any failed:
make install-exec-hook make[4]: Entering directory `/scratch/working/texinfo-5.0/tp' ln -s texi2any /usr/bin/makeinfo ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/usr/bin/makeinfo’: File exists make[4]: [install-exec-hook] Error 1 (ignored) make[4]: Leaving directory `/scratch/working/texinfo-5.0/tp' For me, using ln -sf afterwards solved it and makinfo --version now reports 5.0 instead of the 4.13 it was still showing after the install. OK, updating directly over the old version is not that common nowadays, but perhaps this is worth fixing ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce
