C-h f declare-function RET 3. Click or type RET on the link `elisp(Declaring Functions)' at the end of the *Help* buffer, to visit the Elisp info file. ==> Emacs signals the error "byte-code: No such node or anchor: elisp(Declaring Functions)" and the *Help* buffer switches to an *info* buffer containing the raw text of /usr/local/info/emacs (not elisp!). This buffer is in Info-mode but it is wholely unpropertized and the header line is present but empty. This is completely reproducible. However, when I enable debug-on-error and repeat the above steps, it does not generate a backtrace, despite signalling the error. (Why? Is this a (different) bug?) But when I then immediately switch from the raw *info* buffer back to the *Help* buffer again and type RET on the link, I get another error, with the following backtrace (but only if I do not kill the *info* buffer): --=-=-= Content-Disposition: attachment Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Description: backtrace Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) string-match("\\([^.]+\\)\\." nil) byte-code("Æ!ƒ1 Info-find-node-2("/usr/local/info/emacs" nil t) Info-find-node("/usr/local/info/emacs" nil t) byte-code("„! signal(error ("No such node or anchor: elisp(Declaring Functions)")) error("No such node or anchor: %s" "elisp(Declaring Functions)") byte-code("Æ!ƒ1 Info-find-node-2("/usr/local/info/emacs" "elisp(Declaring Functions)" nil) Info-find-node("emacs" "elisp(Declaring Functions)") Info-goto-node("(emacs)elisp(Declaring Functions)") info("(emacs)elisp(Declaring Functions)") apply(info "(emacs)elisp(Declaring Functions)") help-do-xref(1624 info ("(emacs)elisp(Declaring Functions)")) help-button-action(#) push-button(1632) call-interactively(push-button nil nil) --=-=-= I have no idea what's going on here, but it may be related to something else I recently noticed. My installed dir file in /usr/local/share/info contains lots of lines like the following scattered throughout the file (these lines are not in the dir file in the Emacs source directory): This is ../../info/eintr, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from emacs-lisp-intro.texi. This is ../../info/sasl, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from sasl.texi. This is ../../info/remember, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from remember.texi. I don't know when these lines appeared, but I think it wasn't too long ago. Does anyone know what caused this? FWIW, the Makefile installs the Emacs Info files and dir in /usr/local/share/info, and I symlink these to /usr/local/info, but I've been doing that for a long time and I'm pretty sure the above lines are of more recent vintage. --=-=-=-- From schwab@suse.de Fri Dec 12 06:50:06 2008 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.3-bugs.debian.org_2005_01_02 (2007-08-08) on rzlab.ucr.edu X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Bayes: score:0.0000 Tokens: new, 14; hammy, 151; neutral, 97; spammy, 0. spammytokens: hammytokens:0.000-+--emacs, 0.000-+--23.0.60, 0.000-+--23060, 0.000-+--Emacs, 0.000-+--H*M:fsf X-Spam-Status: No, score=-11.1 required=4.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00,HAS_BUG_NUMBER, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED autolearn=ham version=3.2.3-bugs.debian.org_2005_01_02 Received: (at submit) by emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com; 12 Dec 2008 14:50:06 +0000 Received: from fencepost.gnu.org (fencepost.gnu.org [140.186.70.10]) by rzlab.ucr.edu (8.13.8/8.13.8/Debian-3) with ESMTP id mBCEo3R4027902 for ; Fri, 12 Dec 2008 06:50:04 -0800 Received: from mx10.gnu.org ([199.232.76.166]:52083) by fencepost.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.67) (envelope-from ) id 1LB9KW-0005in-2Y for emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org; Fri, 12 Dec 2008 09:49:24 -0500 Received: from Debian-exim by monty-python.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.60) (envelope-from ) id 1LB9L7-0006zQ-R5 for emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org; Fri, 12 Dec 2008 09:50:02 -0500 Received: from ns.suse.de ([195.135.220.2]:42851 helo=mx1.suse.de) by monty-python.gnu.org with esmtps (TLS-1.0:DHE_RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:32) (Exim 4.60) (envelope-from ) id 1LB9L7-0006ys-Fm for emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org; Fri, 12 Dec 2008 09:50:01 -0500 Received: from Relay1.suse.de (mail2.suse.de [195.135.221.8]) (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by mx1.suse.de (Postfix) with ESMTP id DA5A1446BB; Fri, 12 Dec 2008 15:49:57 +0100 (CET) From: Andreas Schwab To: Stephen Berman Cc: 1550@debbugs.gnu.org, emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org Subject: Re: bug#1550: 23.0.60; bad help xref or bad info installation?
