Package: maxima-doc Version: 5.36.1-1 Severity: important Dear Camm,
A running instance of Maxima is unable to find the installed info files from the maxima-doc package. This means that the online help is unuseable. A simple solution is to unzip the info files /usr/share/info/maxima.info-*.gz into /usr/share/doc/maxima/info/ Example: Maxima 5.36.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.12 Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING. Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter. The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information. (%i1) ? riemann Maxima encountered a Lisp error: Condition in MACSYMA-TOP-LEVEL [or a callee]: INTERNAL-SIMPLE-ERROR: Cannot open the file /usr/share/doc/maxima/info/./maxima.info-1. Automatically continuing. To enable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil. --- I have filed an upstream bug report about that error message: that should be handled more gracefully. https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/3026/ Leo -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages maxima-doc depends on: ii dpkg 1.18.2 ii tex-common 6.03 maxima-doc recommends no packages. maxima-doc suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
