Description of problem: 'install-info' complains about missing info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/which.info.gz' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): which-2.18-3.fc9 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to which-2.18-3.fc9 Actual results: Package is installed but the following message is returned to the console: 'install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/which.info.gz'' Expected results: Package installs without complaint. Additional info: The latest entry to the changelog seems to be related to the issue, * Mon Nov 26 2007 Karsten Hopp <karsten> 2.18-3 - add dir entry for info page
it's the bug in previous version, which printed the warning. It's now fixed in which-2.18-3.fc9
However, executing 'rpm -Uhv --force which-2.18-3.fc9.x86_64.rpm' after updating the package still issues this warning.
because the postinstall scriptlet of the previous which version is used! if you delete which with "rpm -e which" and install it after that you won't see this warning.
(In reply to comment #3) I actually do, and this even for which-2.18-4.fc9.
/usr/share/info/which.info.gz is missing close to the beginning a stanza of that sort: INFO-DIR-SECTION Basics START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY * Which: (which). Show the full path of (shell) commands. END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY The net effect is only a complaint, which is less important, but 'which' is also not added to info directory and if you will type 'info' it will not show up among displayed topics. That is the case for the current rawhide updates.
'rpm -q --changelog which' sports the following: * Mon Nov 26 2007 Karsten Hopp <karsten> 2.18-3 - add dir entry for info page Maybe this was an intention but as of which-2.18-5.fc9 this is still not there so the complaint shows up and no dir entry after an update.
This bug has been fixed in which-2.19 which can be downloaded from http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/which/
it's fixed in rawhide
