Package: pinfo
Version: 0.6.8-4
Severity: normal

Assumption:  by design, if a 'foo' info file exists, 
then 'pinfo foo' and 'info foo' should display the same 
info page.  If that's true, then there appears to be a bug...

  % info python
  File: python2.3-lib.info,  Node: Top,  Next: Front Matter,  Prev: (dir),  Up: 
(dir)

  Python Library Reference
  ************************

  * Menu:

  * Front Matter::
  * Introduction::
  * Built-In Objects::
  * Python Runtime Services::
  * String Services::
  * Miscellaneous Services::
  <...etc...>

...that's the correct output.  Compare that with:

  % pinfo python
  File: python2.3-mac.info,  Node: Top,  Next: Front Matter,  Prev: (dir),  Up: 
(dir)

  Macintosh Library Modules
  *************************

  * Menu:

  * Front Matter::
  * Using Python on a Mac OS 9 Macintosh::
  * MacPython Modules::
  * MacPython OSA Modules::
  * MacOS Toolbox Modules::
  * Undocumented Modules::
  * History and License::
  <...etc...>

...which is different, and seems wrong -- I didn't type anything 'mac' 
oriented.  At first I'd thought this was a bug in 'python2.3-doc' 
which contains '/usr/share/info/python2.3-mac.info.gz', until I 
tried it with plain 'info'.


Hope this helps...
