Dear Maintainer, the package octave runs into a endless loop when trying to build with TeXInfo 7.0.x. It happens, when ./doc/interpreter/mk-qthelp.pl is called: perl ./doc/interpreter/mk-qthelp.pl octave.html doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter && \ qcollectiongenerator -qt=5 doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhcp -o doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc >/dev/null && \ rm -f doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhcp doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhp Use of uninitialized value $_ in pattern match (m//) at ./doc/interpreter/mk-qthelp.pl line 30, <$HTML> line 831. Use of uninitialized value $_ in pattern match (m//) at ./doc/interpreter/mk-qthelp.pl line 30, <$HTML> line 831. <snip> As far as I understand the script ./doc/interpreter/mk-qthelp.pl tries to find some strings in the HTML file generated by "makeinfo --html". These were generated by TeXInfo 6.8, but the structure of TeXInfo 7.0 is different. For testing TeXInfo 7.0 is available in experimental. This bug is not RC for now, but after bookworm we'll upload TeXInfo 7.0 to unstable and the bug will become RC.
