Package: xemacs21
Version: 2.4.17-1
(This is probably related to bug 301750, which I just filed.)
I installed xemacs by typing apt-get install xemacs21 and choosing Yes.
When I press C-h i for Info, the minibuffer (status bar) shows "File not found
and directory write-protected" (yes, it says "and" instead of "or"), then the
message disappears and is replaced by something else for a millisecond or so,
then it comes back, then it shows "Composing main Info directory...done." Then
I see the main Info. I've pasted a copy of the main Info node (C-h i) and the
Xemacs21 node below.
I've also pasted part of the top node I get when I run "info" for comparison
below. The bug is absent. Info's search path is:
/usr/share/info:/usr/local/info:/usr/info:/usr/local/lib/info:/usr/lib/info:/\
usr/local/gnu/info:/usr/local/gnu/lib/info:/usr/gnu/info:/usr/gnu/lib/info:/opt\
/gnu/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/share/lib/info:/usr/local/share/info:/usr/local/\
share/lib/info:/usr/gnu/lib/emacs/info:/usr/local/gnu/lib/emacs/info:/usr/local\
/lib/emacs/info:/usr/local/emacs/info:.
The thing this bug is about is the repeated "[No description available]" text.
Yes, it's a minor thing, but I didn't want to throw it into bug 301750. Maybe
this issue is a separate issue from the issues in 301750.
P.S. When I run xemacs as root, I don't get the "File not found and directory
write-protected", but "[No description available]" still comes up.
