[Bug 778796] Re: ‘info gcc’ broke. The package gcc-doc should be rebuilt with new debhelper to get trigger support

[Emmanuel Thomé]

Quite annoying indeed. Still observed in oneiric beta2.

I never installed, nor cared or heard about gccgo, yet I'm served with
the gccgo info page in lieu of the gcc one.

I'll go for manual removing of /usr/share/info/gccgo.info.gz and redo
update-info-dir in the meantime.

Is the comment to be trusted in that a mere rebuild of the gcc-doc
pacakge would cure this ? If so, shall we expect a fix for the 11.10
final ?

Best,

E.

Title:
  ‘info gcc’ broke. The package gcc-doc should be rebuilt with new
  debhelper to get trigger support

Status in “gcc-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The gcc-doc package no longer installs the gcc info page correctly.
  If I install gcc-doc and run ‘info gcc’, I now get the info page for
  gccgo instead of for gcc.

  This is because the install-info calls in gcc-doc.postinst fail with
