This has the unfortunate effect that if the sorted index files are missing but the unsorted index files aren't, then texi2dvi won't call texindex. For example: # this creates index files file.?? $ pdfetex file.texi # this sees that file.?? hasn't changed and doesn't create file.??s $ texi2pdf file.texi This situation won't occur very often as usually people will always use texi2pdf or texi2dvi instead of pdfetex or etex, but it's confusing enough when it happens that I think it is worth fixing. I'm looking at texi2dvi now to try to see how to fix this.
