Bug#602701: octave3.2-info: ignoring install-info called from maintainer script

2010-11-07 Thread Julian Gilbey
Package: octave3.2-info
Version: 3.2.4-8

When installing, I see:

Setting up octave3.2-info (3.2.4-8) ...
Ignoring install-info called from maintainer script
The package octave3.2-info should be rebuilt with new debhelper to get
trigger support

This is because the postinst is calling install-info directly, rather
than relying on the install-info triggers.

The current install-info takes the required directory information from
the info file; this does not state a section, and the original texi
file would have to be fixed and the info files regenerated for this to
be corrected.

Yes, this is known. The current 3.2.4 release is the last one in the 3.2
series of Octave. With the 3.4 series, the packaging scripts will need
to be overhauled anyway, so this bug will be fixed then.
