A weird "conflict" between texinfo and Alien's libconfig.
I installed libconfig from Eric's repository.
And then I grepped /var/log/packages with the following pattern: Code:
grep -Rn info/dir /var/log/packages/* Code:
/var/log/packages/emacs-26.1-x86_64-1:45:usr/info/dired-x.info.gz Libconfig's /usr/share/info/dir is a very small file, only listing the texinfo's directory for itself, and a couple other packages: Code:
* Menu: Code:
lockywolf@delllaptop:/usr/share/info$ cat dir.new | wc -l I am not sure how this happened, but if that is also the case on other people's machines, perhaps these two packages need to be fixed. |
I think that you upgraded texinfo and forgot to take care of /usr/info/dir.new that you should have renamed /usr/info/dir after having checked the differences with the previous one, and this issue is unrelated to libconfig's installation.

Hello,
libconfig from slackbuilds.org does not have this issue. The file usr/info/dir is deleted before the package is created. Below a snippet of this slackbuild: Code:

I reported this in Alienbob's blog comments:
https://alien.slackbook.org/blog/gcc...kware-current/ Maybe not the best place, but I know that he does read them. Meanwhile, what's the easiest way to merge these two files? dir and dir.new? UPDATE: Texinfo's dir file is also not correct, at least on my machine (which is a bit of a mess, I have to admit, uses compat32, sbo, etc). For example, when trying to browse an entry for chroot: Code:
* chroot(sh-utils) Specify the root directory. Code:
Info file textutils does not exist Code:
info chroot (The node's non-existence is not surprising, since: Quote:
And the SlackBuild has: Code:
# Be sure this is "fresh" Possibly, this can be fixed with the `install-info' command, or somehow similarly, but I'm too ignorant about that. |
