Dear texinfo team, down here at Debian we got a bug report concerning 5.2, but I can confirm that the same happens with 5.9.92.
The mentioned case about coreutils is a bit particular, as there are so many entries, but info wdiff also jumps into the Invocation instead of top of wdiff. We are updating the dir file by looping over all info files and call install-info "$file" "$INFODIR/dir" I attach the gzipped version of the dir file on my system. Additionally, it is interesting that the transformation to latin1 changes something. All the best Norbert On Thu, 05 Mar 2015, Bjarni Ingi Gislason wrote: > Package: info > Version: 5.2.0.dfsg.1-6 > Severity: normal > > Dear Maintainer, > > * What led up to the situation? > > Issuing command "info coreutils". > > * What was the outcome of this action? > > Output from "info coreutils" begins with chapter 2.14. > > Output from "info wdiff" begins with chapter 2.1. > > Display is normal, if the info-files have been transformed to latin-1 (8 > bit single byte) encoding before they are used. > > Using "info coreutils | iconv -f utf-8 -t latin1//TRANSLIT" does only > show chapter 2.14. > > "info wdiff | iconv -f utf-8 -t latin1//TRANSLIT" does only show > chapter 2.1. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREINING, Norbert http://www.preining.info JAIST, Japan TeX Live & Debian Developer GPG: 0x860CDC13 fp: F7D8 A928 26E3 16A1 9FA0 ACF0 6CAC A448 860C DC13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
