Package: gnuplot-doc
Version: 4.0.0-5
Severity: normal
`info gnuplot` gives me the man page instead of the expected info pages,
and if I do `info` then select the item "GNUPLOT: (gnuplot)." I get the
error: "Cannot find node `Top'.". Other info pages work fine.

Hi,
gnuplot was recently moved under debian-science control and found a new
{co-}maintainer. I am currently trying to help there by triaging old
gnuplot bug reports,
Looking at gnuplot.info.gz sizes,
4.0.0-5: /usr/share/info/gnuplot.info.gz 3557
4.2~rc2-1: /usr/share/info/gnuplot.info.gz 191198
4.6.0-1: /usr/share/info/gnuplot.info.gz 227032
seems that 4.0.0-5 gnuplot.info.gz contained only references, but the rest
of the info seems to be fully available from 4.2~rc2-1 on. Quick inspection
shows similar result and indeed info docs are available for 4.6.0-1.
I am then closing this bug report. Please reopen if needed.
Thanks for the feedback.
Regards,
