Yes, that's right. So we could adjust our dpkg.patch, changing +$backup='@PREFIX@/share/info/dir.bak'; to +$backup="$infodir/dir.bak"; which would fix that particular error. However, this is *not* what is tripping up the automake tests. Rather, this is: ERROR: files left after uninstall: ./share/info/dir ./share/info/dir.old *sigh*. I don't have a good idea right now how to fix that, short of making major changes to our install-info (e.g. removing the dir file altogether...), or replacing it entirely with the one from texinfo. Huh, well, I guess I could insert a fake install-info into the PATH of the TestScript... But for now, I'll just disable those tests.
