groff has been failing to upgrade on my machine for some time now. I'm emerging groff to 1.18.1-r3 from 1.18.1-r2, and I'm receiving the following error: --- d=.; \ test -f "groff" || d=/var/tmp/portage/groff-1.18.1-r3/work/groff-1.18.1/doc; \ for f in $d/groff $d/groff-*; do \ rm -f /var/tmp/portage/groff-1.18.1-r3/image//usr/share/info/`basename $f`; \ /bin/install -c -m 644 $f /var/tmp/portage/groff-1.18.1-r3/image//usr/share/info/`basename $f`; \ done install-info --info-dir=/var/tmp/portage/groff-1.18.1-r3/image//usr/share/info /var/tmp/portage/groff-1.18.1-r3/image//usr/share/info/groff install-info(/var/tmp/portage/groff-1.18.1-r3/image//usr/share/info/groff): no backup file /var/backups/infodir.bak available, giving up. * Groff: (groff).
