Are you sure about this? I just had a short look at the provided logs.

This could be a bug in TeXInfo. I guess I'll care about this after 7.3 
has entered unstable.

It fails after calling 'dh_auto_test  -- TESTS="tests/basic.scm"', so I 
would guess it is unrelated to TeXInfo upgrade.

I've seen the error message in the logs, but it seems the TeXInfo calls 
itself run fine, so I can't also see a relationship to TeXInfo upgrade.

Thanks, I have a copy.

Just 3 times FTBFS due to TeXInfo upgrade is not a show stopper and I 
can upload once TI 7.3 is there. Many thanks for that result!
