The real cost is that packages with a broken buildsystem may start to ship a /usr/share/info/dir.gz file if install-info is installed in the build environment, for details please see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/08/msg00939.html. This looks rather dangerous since an unknown amount of packages is affected. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
