Package: coreutils Version: 6.10-6 Severity: normal
The commands "info paste" and "info coreutils paste" produce quite different results. However, the coreutils.info.gz file contains an entry for paste: INFO-DIR-SECTION Basics START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY * Coreutils: (coreutils). Core GNU (file, text, shell) utilities. * Common options: (coreutils)Common options. Common options. * File permissions: (coreutils)File permissions. Access modes. * Date input formats: (coreutils)Date input formats. END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY INFO-DIR-SECTION Individual utilities ... * paste: (coreutils)paste invocation. Merge lines of files. ... END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY There are some related bugs already in the database, but I believe this bug is not a duplicate, for these reasons: #402947 (coreutils: shred manpage points to wrong info location) - because that bug suggests a better form of "info" command for accessing the right page. That's valid but the coreutils info file is intended to allow "info paste" and "info shred" to work. Hence the manpage could be updated, fixing #402947, but the bug I am reporting now would still exist. #139569 ([INSTALL-INFO] support documents with more than one section) - AFAICT this is supposed to be fixed in Lenny. But I'm using Lenny. #483554 (coreutils: "info chcon" gives the man page...) - This bug simply caused by the fact that chcon has no info docs. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.47-2 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 2.0.65-5 SELinux shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
