Package: maxima-doc
Version: 5.47.0-8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
Installed maxima for the first time. Open maxima or xmaxima, run
`describe("plot2d");`. Get the following:
```
Cannot find documentation for `plot2d': missing info file
/usr/share/doc/maxima/info/./maxima.info-1
-- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true);
```
I noticed `maxima-doc` installed this file:
/usr/share/info/maxima.info-1.gz
So I think either maxima-doc is installing to the wrong location or maxima
and xmaxima are configured to look in the wrong place.

Greetings, and thanks for your note!
The package fixing this bug has indeed been released, and is
5.49.0+dsfg-3. I elected to send a longer email close report rather
than the automatic verbage in the changelog.
Take care,
