Description Tom Horsley 2016-06-25 20:38:28 UTC
Description of problem:

I've just installed fedora 24 and added lots of packages to the base install.
One of the packages I installed was emacs.

I see the file /usr/share/info/emacs.info.gz does exist, but there is no entry for it in the /usr/share/info/dir directory.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
emacs-common-25.0.94-1.fc24.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install emacs from f24 repos
2.try to run info on emacs
3.no entry in directory

Actual results:
no info directory entry

Expected results:
info directory gets updated

Additional info:

I see this, too.  I wanted to access the Elisp reference manual in Info,
but it is not listed in the top level Info directory node, even though
it exists in the standard location in /usr/share/info.

As Tom Horsley, I cannot see the Emacs manual in the Info directory
either.

Could you please try with https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-a54ea177cf? My info pages are fine...

Comment 3 Tom Horsley 2016-07-12 14:17:23 UTC
I just tried it on a virtual machine - no change. Still no entries made in the info directory file.

Comment 4 Udyant Wig 2016-07-13 03:27:45 UTC
No change. I still cannot access many Info nodes from the top Info directory.
But they all exist in the standard location -- /usr/share/info
