It writes the right dir entries, it seems, but it /additionally/ references /var/backups. The Debian folk say that their install-info does exactly what Debian needs. But I'm afraid it doesn't do what I need. I'd be happy about a regular install-info as distributed with GNU Texinfo. But that will never happen (I mean they never will distribute it), I'm afraid. -- A turnip curses Elvis
