I disagree. I just now tried with that very same file from lenny,
so the info top page gives:
This is Edition 6.4-pre1 of the documentation, updated 7 January
2006 for version 6.4-pre1 of the GNU Accounting Utilities.
and when I go tpo
* dump-acct
and press enter I only get
dump-acct: No such file or directory
Which is a different bug, but I guess that is an error in the acct package
and not in info.
Can you please send me *YOUR* version of accounting.info.gz, together
with a backtrace of info, otherwise I cannot even guess what is going
on, since here on:
- sid on amd 64
- info from sid
- accounting.info.gz from lenny
I cannot reproduce this bug.
Best wishes
