Description of problem: /usr/bin/makeinfo has stopped working in Rawhide. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texi2html-5.0-1.fc22.noarch texinfo-5.2-6.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: makeinfo Actual results: Can't locate Unicode/EastAsianWidth.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Unicode::EastAsianWidth module) (@INC contains: /usr/share/texinfo /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/share/texinfo/Texinfo/Convert/Unicode.pm line 31.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/makeinfo line 101. Expected results: makeinfo: missing file argument. Try `makeinfo --help' for more information. Additional info: F-21 works OK. It broke my Rawhide build of GDB: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/861/7910861/build.log Workaroundable by: export PERL5LIB="$PERL5LIB${PERL5LIB:+:}/usr/share/texi2html/lib/Unicode-EastAsianWidth/lib" Unaware if it is texi2html or texinfo Bug.
I just hit this too why while trying to build emacspeak in f22 rawhide. I would assume it is a texinfo bug, though texinfo-5.2-6.fc22 has a Requires for perl(Unicode::EastAsianWidth), hmm. In F20, texinfo contained EastAsianWidth.pm.
# rpm -q --whatprovides "perl(Unicode::EastAsianWidth)" perl-Unicode-EastAsianWidth-1.33-4.fc22.noarch texi2html-5.0-1.fc22.noarch In my opinion that's not correct, texi2html shouldn't provide perl(Unicode::EastAsianWidth). It brokes perl(Unicode::EastAsianWidth) dependency for texinfo. I can revert the change and let texinfo use its internal module again. But now, when perl-Unicode-EastAsianWidth-1.33-4.fc22.noarch is available, texi2html should rather use it too (switch on '--with-external-Unicode-EastAsianWidth' in texi2html configure script) and the problem will be solved.
Same problem during building GNULIB against RAWHIDE today!!! http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7919061
texi2html-5.0 bundles Unicode-EastAsianWidth from 2008 year, installs it into a private directory, and export it as a RPM Provides. This is unacceptable and it will be fixed. I will unbundle it. Solving boot-strap build cycles is kept as an exercise for the maintainer.
Created attachment 949268 [details] texi2html-EastAsianWidth-libintl.patch I looked at this a bit. This patch should fix the problem. Basically --with-external-Unicode-EastAsianWidth (and --with-external-libintl-perl) are not sufficient to solve this, since the install of the libs is hardcoded in Makefile.am. And autoreconf fails..., so for now I patched Makefile.in: not ideal but hopefully good enough. I think it is better to use the external libs in all cases so I patch texi2html.pl to just require them rather than the upstream conditions. perl-Unicode-EastAsianWidth is only available on F21+ I conditioned the changes on %fedora. Since the perl require's of Locale::Messages and Unicode::EastAsianWidth depend on runtime options, these depends also seem to need to be given by hand. It is not beautiful but seems clean enough to me. If it looks acceptable I can commit and build in Rawhide to fix the texinfo dependency issue.
Thanks but I've just finished patch for the Makefile.am and I can regenerate the autotools scripts.

Confirming GDB in Rawhide builds now even after removing the workaround, thanks.
