Known problem: see <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23939> In summary, this is because there is a symlink 'bashref.info.gz' in the info files directory, which points to 'bash.info.gz'. When the program that creates the info dir file scans over them, it sees that both these files have the same menu items in them, and tosses an error. You can ignore the error, as the bash menu item is created anyway. Note that this bug was apparently created in an attempt to fix another bug, <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22168>, which was caused by the bash.info page actually considering itself to be bashref.info internally. So at its core this is realy an error with the bash distribution, and an imperfect workaround. ---------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Bryan Feir VA3GBF|"Every man has somewhere in the back of his head Home:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | the wreck of a thing which he calls his | education." -- Stephen Leacock ---------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
