Although I haven't installed emacs-20.7-5, I would say they are normal. I get them for other packages like readline, too. The reason is that the Makefile uses GNU-install-info syntax, whereas Fink uses debian install-info. This is not important, however, because the whole install-info is superfluous during package *building*. All install-info does is updating the database of the info doc system, namely the "dir" file in the info doc directory, and the one built during package building is thrown away anyway. The real install-info run happens afterwards when dpkg installs the *.deb file, and there dpkg uses its own debian syntax, namely --info-dir instead of --dir-file. So these non-fatal "errors" are more a sign of maintainer lazyness than of real problems. They could be made disappear by adding some lines to the patch file. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
