Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist


$ dpkg-reconfigure nana
This is not dpkg install-info anymore, but GNU install-info
See the man page for ginstall-info for command line arguments
install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information.
zsh: exit 1     dpkg-reconfigure nana


This breaks unrelated software (dpkg-reconfigure -a).

That dpkg-reconfigure -a immediately aborts if reconfiguring a package
fails seems to be a (normal) bug in debconf.


To get a list of affected binary packages:

  w3m 
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/install-info-used-in-maintainer-script.html | 
awk '/[(]binary[)]$/ {print $1}'


Extended description of this lintian tag is:

  This script apparently runs install-info. Updating the
  /usr/share/info/dir file is now handled automatically by triggers, so
  running install-info from maintainer scripts is no longer necessary.

  If debhelper generated the maintainer script fragment, rebuilding the
  package with debhelper 7.2.17 or later will fix this problem.

  Severity: normal, Certainty: possible


Could rebuilding them please be scheduled?


Could lintian maintainers please add this lintian tag to
data/output/ftp-master-nonfatal, although this shouldn't occur much in
future since debconf doesn't create this snippet anymore?


Regards
Carsten
