Negative. Using the same pbuilder chroot, starting from the same ess 15.09.2-2 package I successfully prepared with the texinfo 6.0 file texinfo.tex, I now get a fail once I now include the new texinfo.tex you just emailed. I tickle a grep for its version in debian/rules as you requested: dh_testdir echo "*** For Norbert <BEGIN> ***" *** For Norbert <BEGIN> *** grep texinfoversion doc/texinfo.tex \def\texinfoversion{2016-02-05.07.deb2} \message{Loading texinfo [version \texinfoversion]:} \everyjob{\message{[Texinfo version \texinfoversion]}% @c time-stamp-start: "def\\\\texinfoversion{" echo "*** For Norbert <END> ***" *** For Norbert <END> *** and it ends in tears a little later -- though now with a different issue.
