Sorry, Max, I was indeed talking about the info documentation files.
The bug _is_ in install-info and is simple to fix. I don't know
why it is not fixed in Debian sources, the bug has beed
outstanding for well over a year.
Patch follows:
--- install-info.pl.old Sat Jan 26 01:56:31 2002
+++ install-info.pl Sat Jan 26 01:57:07 2002

while(<IF>) {
m/^START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY$/ && last;
m/^INFO-DIR-SECTION (.+)$/ && do {
- $sectiontitle = $1 unless
defined($sectiontitle);
- $sectionre = '^'.quotemeta($1) unless
defined($sectionre);
+ $sectiontitle = $1 unless ($sectiontitle);
+ $sectionre = '^'.quotemeta($1) unless ($sectionre);
}
}
while(<IF>) { last if m/^END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY$/; $asread.= $_; }
The problem being that both sectiontitle and sectionre are
defined to the empty string.
Trust me :-), it works with this fix.
Without it any fink package that uses the InfoDocs: ends up with
its documentation in hte misc section.
