(fwd) Bug#792328: info: can no longer find the Emacs manual

[Norbert Preining]

Hi everyone,

down here at Debian a certain inconvenience has arrived: Namely that
info cannot follow links to info files in sub-directories it seems:
In our case this is the emacs manual in the emacs-24 subdirectory:
        /usr/share/info/emacs-24/emacs.info.gz

The respective dir entry looks like
        * Emacs: (emacs-24/emacs).      The extensible self-documenting text 
editor.
but trying to enter into that node gives:
        emacs-24/emacs: No such file or directory
The dir-entry was added with
        install-info /usr/share/info/emacs-24/emacs.info.gz /usr/share/info/dir
Do we do something wrong here?

Thanks

Norbert
