Oops, I realize I was lying about ada-mode. Nonetheless, even after purging the package containing that info-file (namely, emacs23-common-non-dfsg) the same problem persists: any invocation of update-info-dir corrupts the dir file.
A few random tries running ginstall-info on a single info file, starting with a "good" dir file, does not produce the same problem. -- Ian Zimmerman gpg public key: 1024D/C6FF61AD fingerprint: 66DC D68F 5C1B 4D71 2EE5 BD03 8A00 786C C6FF 61AD http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/c66875cda51109f76c6312f4d4743d1e.png Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
