| Dirk,
|
| As I already tried to explain (see above), this is from changes in
| Texinfo's texinfo.tex (which provides the TeX macros for .texi files),
| and not from changes to texi2dvi, so the patches for this that Norbert
| kindly picked up will not help, nor will setting
| R_TEXI2DVICMD=emulation.
Ahh. I clearly have reading comprehension.
But how would I go about fixing my build issue? This is still external to the
package which is an innocent bystand as this seems to come from either
automake or texmf, and would in the latter case point back to Norbert.
edd at max:~/src/debian/Misc$ locate texinfo.tex | grep -v home
/usr/share/automake-1.15/texinfo.tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ffi-1.9.6/ext/ffi_c/libffi/texinfo.tex
edd at max:~/src/debian/Misc$
Suggestions more than welcome.
Dirk
