--- Begin Message ---Package: coreutils Version: 5.96-3 Severity: important The man page for install(1) tells me that: The full documentation for install is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and install programs are properly installed at your site, the command info install should give you access to the complete manual. Inconveniently, when I type the command specified, info falls back on man pages and shows me the same man page. Thankfully I have working recursion-breaking heuristics to avoid infinite loops. When I look for install in emacs' C-h i buffer, it fails likewise. I inferred that install's info pages were missing, hence that I needed to find out its package name and add -doc. I asked type install and dkpk -S /usr/bin/install so found that install is provided by coreutils. More users shall be able to get more out of Debian when having to infer and ask as above gets less common. I believe I've had similar trouble with other programs provided by the coreutils module. There being no coreutils-doc package (at least, not in etch, whose version of coreutils I'm using), I tried asking info about coreutils (both in emacs and in info) and discover that this works and even provides an entry for install. I can thus amend the above command to info coreutils install to get all the way there in one command. I recommend that the man page of install be amended to supply this command-line, which works, rather than the one it presently supplies - which doesn't work. I believe that there are other man pages for commands in coreutils to which the same problem applies: presumably the same solution is apt to work for these, too. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.39-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 1.30-1 SELinux shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
