Lilypond-devel, texinfo, and debian-sarge

[Heikki Johannes Junes]

It is not possible to complete 'make install' in a consistent manner in
Debian-sarge. The problem lies in texinfo. 

If you use texinfo-4.7, that breaks 'make install' in lilypond-devel:


install-info --remove --info-dir=/usr/local/info ./out/lilypond.info
install-info(./out/lilypond.info): no entry for file `lilypond'.
install-info --info-dir=/usr/local/info ./out/lilypond.info

install-info(./out/lilypond.info): Invalid info entry
make[2]: *** [local-install-info] Error 9
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/hjunes/build/lilypond/Documentation/user'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hjunes/build/lilypond/Documentation'
make: *** [install] Error 2


But if you install makeinfo-4.8, that breaks debian-sarge:


Setting up wget (1.9.1-12) ...
install-info: No such file or directory for Network Applications
dpkg: error processing wget (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up xlibs-dev (4.3.0.dfsg.1-13) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 wget
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Therefore, texinfo-4.8 always has to be installed before installing lilypond
from source and deinstalled after installing. Earlier I wrote that it is
possible to build lilypond-cvs in debian-sarge, but this problem has always been
present.
