Bug 415621 – app-editors/emacs-23.4-r1 does not install info files

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Pariksheet Nanda 2012-05-12 20:36:02 UTC]

Only man page is installed, not the info page.
The emacs splash screen suggests to use to the info manual, and consequently the link is broken.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge emacs

Actual Results:  
No info file installed from checking with qlist.
`info emacs` shows manpage instead.
Running `C-h r` from emacs returns "Info file emacs does not exist"

Expected Results:  
info file should be installed

Could you please post the output of emerge --info and attach build.log?
What is your INFOPATH environment variable assigned to?

$ echo $INFOPATH
/usr/share/info:/usr/share/binutils-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/2.21.1/info:/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.5/info

What happens is that Portage removes /usr/share/info:

>  * Removing /usr/share/info
>  * Removing /usr/share/doc

... which is expected because you have "noinfo" in FEATURES:

> FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs collision-protect distlocks
> ebuild-locks fixlafiles metadata-transfer news nodoc noinfo parallel-fetch
> preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn
> unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch"

Closing as invalid.

Ah, my mistake.  Thank you for explaining this.
