What's up with info?
Apparently there is no rpm entry in the info system. If you go to the top of the search tree and do /rpm you'll find, that this string is matched by rpmatch() and that is the page you get.
That's not what I'm getting.
Previously, if I typed "pinfo something", and the info page did not exist, I got the man page instead, or not found.
What I get now for "info rpm" is "Node: Yes-or-No Questions" of "File: libc.info". It is chapter "7.8" of "The GNU C Library Reference Manual". That is not related to rpm at all!
No not to rpm, but to rpmatch. So apparently it gives you the closest match. Not what you would expect or like to have.
And in some pages, it crashes.
The index is broken. :-/
Not the index, the algorithm. Probably they replaced some known error by an unknown one. Oh well, that's the price for progress. :-) Best regards, -- Jos van Kan www.josvankan.tk
