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 attachment 29660 [details, diff] 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!
