The search of the info-directory-list variable is corrupted when the auto-compression-mode is activated in the latest release of emacs for slink, i.e.: http://http.us.debian.org stable/main emacs20-el 20.5a-1.99 [5729kB] http://http.us.debian.org stable/main emacs20 20.5a-1.99 [8971kB]
The info-directory-list is defined as: ("/usr/local/lib/info/" "/usr/local/info/" "/usr/info/" "/usr/info/" "/usr/info" "/usr/share/info") but only /usr/share/info is searched once auto-compression-mode is turned on. Is this a bug in the debian distribution of Emacs-20.5a or endemic to the 20.5a version of emacs. If the latter, will the recently released version 20.6 be made available as a deb package in slink?
