Package: gnat-4.4-doc Version: 4.4.4.nf1-1 Severity: normal
The issue is the top-level info index contains the following entry: * GNAT Reference Manual: (gnat_rm-4.3). If you attempt to select that menu item by hitting the "enter" key the result is the following error message gnat_rm-4.3: No such file or directory which is the expected result because that is the wrong version number. The actual gnat-related info files and symlinks are ir...@raven> ls -l /usr/share/info/gnat* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14372 May 2 23:31 /usr/share/info/gnat-style-4.4.info.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 25 09:44 /usr/share/info/gnat-style.info.gz -> gnat-style-4.4.info.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176034 May 2 23:31 /usr/share/info/gnat_rm-4.4.info.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Aug 25 09:44 /usr/share/info/gnat_rm.info.gz -> gnat_rm-4.4.info.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 305368 May 2 23:31 /usr/share/info/gnat_ugn-4.4.info.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 25 09:44 /usr/share/info/gnat_ugn.info.gz -> gnat_ugn-4.4.info.gz Because of those symlinks, I suggest the fix should be to drop that version information completely from the top-level index, i.e., replace the above with * GNAT Reference Manual: (gnat_rm). In fact, that is what is already done with * GNAT User's Guide: (gnat_ugn). Please note to trigger this bug you must actually try to use the menu item as I have detailed above. The commands "info gnat_rm" (and "info gnat_ugn") are not affected by the bug and therefore work fine. Alan W.
