Contrary to documentation arguments to install-info in a format --entry="<text of an entry here>" do not work. The net effect is that postinstall scripts from packages like mgetty are effectively ignored. I do not know if the bug is Alpha specific or if it affects a broader range of platforms. I can verify it on Alpha. Moreover bugzilla does not recognize 'info' package and does not accept what I type; therefore I am forced to use a wrong component in this report. No wonder that there are no bug reports filed against info. Michal Jaegermann, michal@harddata.com
I can't reproduce it here with 6.2, so I guess it's fixed. texinfo is the right component to report this - if you run rpm -qi info, you'll see info is generated from the texinfo source RPM. It's probably not very obvious to a user though, I'll talk about it with our bugzilla people.
