Package: octave2.9 Version: 2.9.5-7 Severity: normal Using `info-emacs-info' (within Emacs) makes the command `doc' fail with the error message:
error in process filter: byte-code: Info file /usr/share/info does not exist error in process filter: Info file /usr/share/info does not exist I think the problem lies in the order of the arguments passed to the info program, which is different from what `info-emacs-info' expects. Issuing doc "whos" in an Octave terminal outside Emacs launches the program (as shown by "ps x"): info --directory /usr/share/info --file /usr/share/info/octave2.9.info --index-search whos while the first line of `info-emacs-info' is cmd="(Info-find-node \"$2\" \"Top\")" A simple experiment from a bash confirmed this: when `--file' is the first option passed to the info program, `info-emacs-info' works.
