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>

Hi Tom
in Debian, the Emacs manual belongs to a separate package,
"emacs23-common-non-dfsg", which is non-free. This is due to the Debian
Guidelines.
Maybe the situation in your Linux edition is similar?
Michael.

and so it is in LMDE: I quit emacs,
$ sudo aptitude install emacs23-common-non-dfsg
and restarted emacs, and now `C-h i` shows
