Tags: patch If Emacs is the first or only package that installs its Info files into an otherwise empty directory (e.g., in Gentoo Emacs is configured with --infodir=/usr/share/info/emacs-23 to allow for multiple Emacs versions), then all entries in the resulting dir file will occur twice. The bad Info dir file installed by Emacs 23.2 is attached. The cause appears to be that the Makefile first copies the pre-made dir file, but then also calls install-info for each Info file. Attached patch fixes the problem for me. I suggest that this should be applied to the emacs-23 branch. 2011-01-30 Ulrich Mueller * Makefile.in (install-arch-indep): Don't run install-info if the pre-made Info dir file is being installed.
