Subject: [BUG] Failed to make install-info
Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 09:38:40 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1J2q92-0001YT-BZ@jdl.com> (raw)


Guys,
I managed to fail to install info files during:

    /usr/src/git# make prefix=/usr install-info

The /usr/share/info/dir file is readable.  But it
looks like our build isn't supplying a description
that is needed by install-info?  Is my info really
old or something?

This is:

    1693 % pwd
    /usr/src/git
    1694 % git describe
    v1.5.4-rc0
    1695 % git rev-parse HEAD
    1e8df762b38e01685f3aa3613e2d61f73346fcbe

and:

    1698 % install-info --version
    Debian install-info version 1.14.5.

Thanks,
jdl
