From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.8 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030212 Description of problem: All manual pages of former fileutils, textutils, ... state (replace FOO with a program name -- sort, join, etc.): [CITE] The full documentation for FOO is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and FOO programs are properly installed at your site, the command info FOO should give you access to the complete manual. [/CITE] However, `info FOO' only shows the manual page again, one has to do `info coreutils' and find it there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): coreutils-4.5.3-19 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. man sort 2. info sort Additional info: Please don't `fix' it by changing the man pages, make `info sort' work as it used to work, instead.
In a fresh installation of Red Hat Linux 9, 'info sort' works for me. Is this an upgrade? From which release?
It was an upgrade from 8.0 (upgraded from 7.3. upgraded from 7.2, etc. ... 6.0). However, I looked at info.dir state (things from textutils and shutils were simply missing there) and coreutils pre- and postinstall scriptlets, and came to conclusion rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs coreutils-4.5.3-19.i386.rpm must fix it. Indeed, it fixed it. So it's probably really an upgrade problem -- and once it works I'm no longer able to reproduce it.
Sounds very similar to 88288. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 88288 ***
