1 The `install-info' supplied with Debian Linux 1.3, and installed as
2 `/usr/sbin/install-info' is not compatible with the official
3 `install-info' from the Texinfo distribution. XEmacs package
4 installation requires GNU `install-info'.
5
6 We hope this issue will be made moot in the next release of Debian
7 Linux. For now, Debian users need to get the Texinfo distribution
8 (version 3.11 or above), then build and install GNU `install-info'
9 where it will not conflict with the Debian version. When installing
10 XEmacs packages, check the Makefile to make sure it refers to the GNU
11 version of `install-info'.
