Package: octave2.9-info Version: 1:2.9.19-1 Severity: normal The octave info docs are not accessible via "info octave". "info octave2.9" does work.
I can see in octave2.9-info.postinst that update-alternatives is supposed to create an alternatives symlink for /usr/share/info/octave.info.gz. Furthermore I can see that the symlinks have notionally been created: /usr/share/info/octave.info.gz points to /etc/alternatives/octave.info.gz, which points to /usr/share/info/octave2.9.info.gz. Finally, accessing the symlink directly, "info /usr/share/info/octave.info.gz" does work. But the simple and "normal" usage, "info octave", fails (shows the octave(1) man page instead of the info pages).
