My /usr/share/info dir has several different versions of emacs info.
In addition to the usual emacs-*.info.gz (1-36), there are two subdirs.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13269 Feb 10 2005 /usr/share/info/emacs-1.info.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14595 Feb 10 2005 /usr/share/info/emacs-36.info.gz
These two subdirs have very nearly the same contents as each other,
but their emacs files only go to 8.
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2600 Dec 1 11:49 /usr/share/info/emacs-22
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72996 Dec 1 11:12 emacs-1.info.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16261 Dec 1 11:12 emacs-8.info.bz2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2712 Dec 7 22:43 /usr/share/info/emacs-23
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 73191 Dec 7 22:42 emacs-1.info.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23606 Dec 7 22:42 emacs-8.info.bz2
But the individual subdir files are bigger, are bzipped not gzipped,
and the total byte counts come out roughly the same, so I think it is
a fair bet that each of the three sets is complete.
If I use "info /usr/share/info/emacs-23/dir", I do see the latest
emacs info, not some old -21 stuff.
The dates are also interesting. The main info dir has three year old
files, teh two subdirs are more recent.
So the question is, why do I have old emacs in the main info dir and
newer emacs info in subdirs which are not easily accessible from the
info system, and what do I do to correct this? I am tempted to just
manually relocate the files, but it should be unnecessary.
This is a ~amd64 system, if that matters.
