This might be a bug in install-info. Looks like it's hardcoding /sw/share/info as the dir.bak location even for dir files in other locations--a shared central backup location that overwrites (and possibly races) for all --info-dir locations rather than "adjacent to the dir file being backed up". dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
