My chroot does not have texinfo installed: test at build:~$ dpkg -l | grep texinfo test at build:~$ which makeinfo test at build:~$ This makeinfo thing is very mysterious to me. Sometimes it complains it's missing, sometimes not. I've never been able to really understand what happens. I am wondering if some packages don't bundle the pre-generated documentation in their tarball, but sometimes have the pre-generated files with an older date than the source files, which causes the documentation to be generated once again. But that's really just a guess. Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
