I have been using 4.8 for some time now. Maybe I just recently noticed the problem, or maybe I just recently one way or the other got a blank line between entries somewhere (which apparently is what triggers the behavior). Can you see if a line gets added if you run install-info manually from the shell's prompt to update the entry for ada-mode? What seems to happen is that if an entry has a blank line underneath it, install-info removes that blank line and adds a new blank line _above_ the entry. Running it a second time produces no second blank line, because the blank line below is gone. But if I then run install-info on the next entry (autotype), the blank line below autotype is removed and a new blank line above autotype and below ada-mode appears. Now running install-info on ada-mode gives yet another blank line above ada-mode. Because of this, the net result of running make-install is to add one blank line between the AUCTeX and ada-mode entries each time I run make-install. Maybe the bug is local in that I should not have any blank lines between entries to begin with. I will try to remove them by hand and see if that solves the problem. Sincerely, Luc.
