Package: emacs-snapshot-common Version: 1:20060923-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/info/emacs-snapshot
Here on my Debian sid machine, 2 matches for "emacs:" in buffer: *info* 122:* Emacs: (emacs-21/emacs). The extensible self-documenting text 179:* Emacs: (emacs-snapshot/emacs). The extensible self-documenting text Typing m emacs, and even hitting tab, one will never know about the second entry. Dear Debian Dudes: just how is one, used to m emacs RET, to even be aware of those second entries, without bending over backwards poking around the whole buffer to make sure there are no additional matches hidden? Indeed I always want to see the second entry, not the first.

Hope they will make better DIR files, as I won't be editing them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
