Subject: debugging missing `info`
Date: Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:26:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877h3bx2r3.fsf@pobox.com> (raw)
I'm running
$ lsb_release -ds
Linux Mint Debian Edition # Update Pack 3
$ uname -rv
2.6.39-2-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 5 02:51:22 UTC 2011
$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 23.3.1
which I installed from a debian package. When from the bash commandline I do
$ info emacs
I get info file=efaq
- The GNU Emacs FAQ
but I expect info file=emacs. Similarly, when I do `C-h i` from emacs, in the Directory node I see only (in category=Emacs)
- Emacs
- * ESS: (ess). Emacs Speaks Statistics (S/S+/R, SAS,
- BUGS/JAGS, Stata, XLisp-Stat).
- * Emacs FAQ: (emacs-23/efaq). Frequently Asked Questions about Emacs.
where I expect to see
+ Emacs
+ * ESS: (ess). Emacs Speaks Statistics (S/S+/R, SAS,
+ BUGS/JAGS, Stata, XLisp-Stat).
+ * Emacs: (emacs) The extensible self-documenting text editor.
+ * Emacs FAQ: (emacs-23/efaq). Frequently Asked Questions about Emacs.
How to fix this? I'm guessing this is a package management problem: if
so, are there specific things I should request from the maintainers? Are
there configuration details I should check on my side first?
TIA, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>
