The user needs to run 'info >coreutils ls' instead. The packager can use /usr/bin/ginstall-info straightly instead of the install-info script by Pre-Depending on texinfo. If there is a bug in dpkg's install-info so that it "does not understand the texinfo directives that tell it how to correctly generate the directory of .info files" and it is causing this bug, please, reassign it to dpkg or file another bug against dpkg and merge both. Regarding 483554, chcon now has info documentation. The problem reported still exists since it's, at this time, the same as in the other two reports (411722 and 509255.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
