Package: tar-doc
Version: 1.35-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: in.cognit...@arcor.de
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Usage of package tar-doc to browse the tar info manual.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
>From "emacs -Q" (Emacs 29), execute 'C-h R tar RET'.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I get an error message
Searching subfile tar.info-3...
info-insert-file-contents: Can’t find tar.info-3 or any compressed version
of it
and the *info* buffer is not properly rendered. Also, I cannot access
the index of the tar manual.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
No error messages when browing the tar manual.
* More information:
The package contents lists as:
[~]$ dpkg -L tar-doc

The indirect section of /usr/share/info/tar.info.gz looks like this:
<separator>
Indirect:
tar.info-1: 1178
tar.info-2: 305486
tar.info-3: 623104

Probably the packaging instructions need to be updated to also include
tar.info-3.gz in the package?
* Off-Topic:
It seems that the only other Debian bug on package tar-doc:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=459079
got fixed already upstream.
