I'll repackage within a few days. Thanks.We need to make sure that the existing dependencies to texinfo are still correct afterwards. 22 packages are affected: _update-info-dirinfoa2pstexinfo-texautoconf all of themNot sure this is needed.automake all of themtexinfo, although this is a soft dependency.cygportinfo (minimal build environment)docbook2XtexinfoindentNot sure this is needed either.The only reason I can think of is that indent comes with an info file /usr/share/info/indent.info. But that would mean we'd have to add dependencies to the info package for all packages coming with an info page. Analog for packages containing man pages a depedeny to man-db. This might go a bit far, I guess...
Packages with an info file don't automatically get a dependency on texinfo (in the current setup). So this must have been done manually by Jari for some reason. But I think packages with an info file do get an automatic dependency on _update-info-dir, so that will bring in the new info package.
In any case, I was thinking the new info package ought to be in the Base category anyway, for the same reason that man-db is in Base. But I don't have strong feelings about this.
