Hello,

I have recently updated the texinfo.tex distributed in Automake from
version 2013-02-01.11 to version 2017-01-14.15

Unfortunately this had the consequence of making 2 tests of Automake test
suite fail.  The problems happen when calling texi2dvi and I fail to
parse the error messages.  That would be great if someone could help me
figure out what/where the problem is.

​partial sol'n:
​

 

​in automake-micro/silent-texi.sh


cat > foo.texi <<'EOF'
\input texinfo
@setfilename foo.info
@settitle foo manual
@bye
EOF

This doesn't actually produce foo.dvi

But add some text, then it does produce foo.dvi:


cat > foo.texi <<'EOF'
\input texinfo
@setfilename foo.info
@settitle foo manual
Here is some random  text.
@bye
EOF

likewise, further down:
cat > sub/zardoz.texi <<'EOF'
\input texinfo
@setfilename zardoz.info
@settitle zardoz manual
Sean Connery
@bye
EOF

Still looking at other error
