Package: info Version: 7.3-2 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Dear Maintainer, Option --where is supposed to print the physical location of the info file. But, info ignores the --where option for any search where an info file does not exist. When an info file does not exist, info --where acts like man. Option --where should always output a list of file names. Any other output adds programming difficulties when info is being used to locate info data files. -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers oldoldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.19.11+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages info depends on: ii install-info 7.3-2 ii libc6 2.42-14 ii libtinfo6 6.6+20251231-1 info recommends no packages. info suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed
