Description of problem: I see the emacs-common postinstall script appears to run install-info to install all the emacs info files, but none of them seem to actually be installed. Perhaps the command /sbin/install-info /usr/share/info/$f /usr/share/info/dir 2> /dev/null should really read /sbin/install-info /usr/share/info/$f.info.gz /usr/share/info/dir 2> /dev/null ? At least when I used the info.gz suffix manually, it worked. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-common-24.3-13.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: every time I try to read info files for emacs Steps to Reproduce: 1.install emacs 2.get no info file links in dir 3. Actual results: no info dir entries Expected results: info dir entries Additional info:
I built up emacs-common and found all info files: phracek@kiasportyw: ~/work/Fedora/emacs (master %)$ rpm -qpl /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/result/emacs-common-24.3-14.fc21.x86_64.rpm /etc/skel/.emacs /usr/bin/ebrowse /usr/bin/emacsclient .... /usr/share/info/ada-mode.info.gz /usr/share/info/auth.info.gz /usr/share/info/autotype.info.gz /usr/share/info/bovine.info.gz /usr/share/info/calc.info.gz /usr/share/info/ccmode.info.gz /usr/share/info/cl.info.gz /usr/share/info/dbus.info.gz /usr/share/info/dired-x.info.gz /usr/share/info/ebrowse.info.gz /usr/share/info/ede.info.gz /usr/share/info/ediff.info.gz /usr/share/info/edt.info.gz /usr/share/info/efaq.info.gz /usr/share/info/eieio.info.gz /usr/share/info/eintr.info.gz /usr/share/info/elisp.info.gz /usr/share/info/emacs-gnutls.info.gz /usr/share/info/emacs-mime.info.gz /usr/share/info/emacs.info.gz /usr/share/info/epa.info.gz /usr/share/info/erc.info.gz /usr/share/info/ert.info.gz /usr/share/info/eshell.info.gz /usr/share/info/eudc.info.gz /usr/share/info/flymake.info.gz /usr/share/info/forms.info.gz /usr/share/info/gnus.info.gz /usr/share/info/htmlfontify.info.gz /usr/share/info/idlwave.info.gz /usr/share/info/info.gz /usr/share/info/mairix-el.info.gz /usr/share/info/message.info.gz /usr/share/info/mh-e.info.gz /usr/share/info/newsticker.info.gz /usr/share/info/nxml-mode.info.gz /usr/share/info/org.info.gz /usr/share/info/pcl-cvs.info.gz /usr/share/info/pgg.info.gz /usr/share/info/rcirc.info.gz /usr/share/info/reftex.info.gz /usr/share/info/remember.info.gz /usr/share/info/sasl.info.gz /usr/share/info/sc.info.gz /usr/share/info/semantic.info.gz /usr/share/info/ses.info.gz /usr/share/info/sieve.info.gz /usr/share/info/smtpmail.info.gz /usr/share/info/speedbar.info.gz /usr/share/info/srecode.info.gz /usr/share/info/tramp.info.gz /usr/share/info/url.info.gz /usr/share/info/vip.info.gz /usr/share/info/viper.info.gz /usr/share/info/widget.info.gz /usr/share/info/wisent.info.gz /usr/share/info/woman.info.gz /usr/share/man/man1/ebrowse.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/emacs.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/emacsclient.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/etags.emacs.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gctags.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/grep-changelog.1.gz phracek@kiasportyw: ~/work/Fedora/emacs (master %)$ I saw all info files. info.info.gz has conflicts with info.info.gz file from info package phracek@kiasportyw: ~/work/Fedora/emacs (master %)$ rpm -qf /usr/share/info/info.info.gz info-5.1-4.fc20.x86_64 phracek@kiasportyw: ~/work/Fedora/emacs (master %)$ There was already discussion about that and therefore info.gz is installed by emacs and info.info.gz is installed by info package.
Did you read the description at all? The files may be on disk, but they are not installed in the info 'dir' file by the postinstall script. Try running 'info' and search for the emacs manual in the info dir on a fresh f20 with emacs installed.
Hello, I have same problem. This is all I have in info Top directory for Emacs: ... * Menu: Emacs * flycheck: (flycheck.info). On the fly syntax checking (aka "flymake done right"). * Haskell Mode: (haskell-mode). Haskell Development Environment for Emacs(en) * IDN Library: (libidn)Emacs API. Emacs API for IDN functions. Archiving: ... (flycheck installed from Emacs package system, haskell-mode from yum) There is no link to Emacs info page (both in Emacs info mode and info program). I can open Emacs info manual using "M-x info-emacs-manual" function and from that I can go back to info Top directory but links to Emacs info pages are still missing.
I've used: # cd /usr/share/info && for f in `ls *.gz`; do /sbin/install-info $f dir; done (after making backup of /usr/share/info/dir)
