'info bash' works for me. Clean install, or upgrade? I upgraded from 7.3. "info bash" works for me too. Plain "info" followed by "m" "bash" fails though Likewise, M-x info in Emacs brings up dir without a 'bash' entry (BTW I have a lot of instance of this bug -- 18 different packages. I'll be reporting the others later. I wonder if this is some systematic bug though...) info, m, bash works for me too.
This from the spec file:
# ***** bash doesn't use install-info. It's always listed in %{_infodir}/dir
# to prevent prereq loops
And the info-dir file in the texinfo src.rpm has the right bit:
$ grep bash info-dir
* bash: (bash). The Bourne Again Shell.
Do you have an info.rpmnew by any chance?
Yes, I do have /usr/share/info/dir.rpmnew It has entries for "info" and "bash", and that's it. Where can I learn about how RPMs install new info files? I assumed it would happen using only install-info. I'd like to try to figure out the problem before submitting bugs against the other 17 packages that are missing dir entries... Not sure. But .rpmnew files are created for %config(noreplace) files if they have been modified from the original payload file. This has been fixed since at least FC2. I couldn't think of a reason to leave it open. |
