Package: gcc-doc Version: 5:4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When I type "info gcc", rather than the GCC manual, I get a (really bad) rendition of the gccgo manpage. It seems that the symlink "/usr/share/info/gcc.info.gz -> gcc-4.7.info.gz" is insufficient, probably because it still says this near the top: INFO-DIR-SECTION Software development START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY * gcc-4.7: (gcc-4.7). The GNU Compiler Collection. * g++-4.7: (gcc-4.7). The GNU C++ compiler. END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY Installing an info file generated from the following .texi file seems to make it work:
\input texinfo @setfilename gcc-dummy.info @dircategory Software development @direntry * gcc: (gcc). The GNU Compiler Collection. * g++: (gcc). The GNU C++ compiler. @end direntry @node Top There's nothing to see here. @xref{Top,,, gcc}.
It might be a good idea to extend this to the other info documents/packages, too, though I don't imagine people try to read those very often. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (991, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gcc-doc depends on: ii gcc-4.7-doc 4.7.2-2 gcc-doc recommends no packages. gcc-doc suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Hi!
