This has nothing to do with the java herd.

Using emerge -v I get the following:

 * Regenerating GNU info directory index...
 install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/jed.2in.gz'
 install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/jed.3in.gz'
 install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/jed.1in.gz'
 * Processed 340 info files; 3 errors.
 * IMPORTANT: 11 config files in /etc need updating.
 * Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files.

This is with jed-0.99.16-r1.

Apparently this is a result of broken info files included in the package.  This has happened with other packages.  In this sense, bug #42895 is related.

I get these errors consistently after merging a package.

Created an attachment (id=29660) [edit]
Adds a direntry to jed.{1,2,3}in

The jed.info file already had a direntry, so this patch adds the same entry to
the three jed.Nin files as well. I checked several other sets of info files
(ex. bison and guile) and they manage direntries for split info files in the
same manner.

This and similar info-file errors are generating quite some confusion and
forum-traffic at the moment.

The submitted patch works, so please push this through asap.

Umm just saw that this is fixed in jed-0.99.16-r2 .. so this should've been
closed.

yes, i forgot to close this bug .. marking -r2 stable for x86 now. thanks for
the patch!
