Gentoo portage removes dir files from package DESTDIR: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=blob;f=bin/misc-functions.sh;h=46be5011cebd20945de34839f48686f8a6fa346e;hb=2ac37d36a1a265654860e9f509f6bcf420a8e734#l675 When the package is installed on a system, install-info is called again: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=blob;f=pym/_emerge/main.py;h=912fab51b7346367ee6f5a46f4ae6a613f73b09e;hb=2ac37d36a1a265654860e9f509f6bcf420a8e734#l166 The rpm 4.8.1 sources seem to have some mandrake-specific macros for install-info commands in the platform.in file: http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=install_info+file%3Aplatform.in These macros can be called post installation or pre uninstall to call install-info. Haven't figured where they get rid of their dir entries, though, as I don't have an RPM-based system at my disposal. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
