Dear Release managers,
I would like to ask for a freeze exception for
texlive-extra 2012.20120611-2
The only change made in this release is a fix for a incorrect info
file, that when run through (g)install-info, under certain circumstances
(that is not clear by now) creates garbeld UTF8 output in the
/usr/share/info/dir file.
The short term solution is fixing the problematic info file, and this
is what this upload does. It adds another patch under debian/patches
that fixes the info file, plus adds a line in the debian/patches/series
file plus a change log entry. That is all.
The first bug report on strange dir files is #555620
Ian Zimmerman tracked it down to broken info files, and submitted
two bug reports, one against texlive-font-utils shipping the problematic
info file #683201, and one against texinfo that (g)install-info should
be more robust wrt to errors #683204. Obviously the second one cannot
be fixed so easily and quickly, so I decided to at least make sure
that in the currently available packges the info/dir file is not
created with garbled content.
I attach the full debdiff to this email. There are other changes
that creeped into the debdiff, due to our packaging of the
texlive-{base,extra,doc,lang} package in the same repository, but
they only related to other packages and are not evaluated
(changes in tpm2deb.cfg), plus a call to dh_lintian in rules.
Thanks a lot
Norbert
