karmic: missing grub.info install from docs/grub.texi

[Grant Bowman]

Binary package hint: grub2

ran command: `info grub`

expected: should bring up the info file

currently: the info viewer says "No menu item `grub' in node `(dir)Top'."

The grub-common binary package should install grub.info compiled from docs/grub.texi of the grub2-1.97~beta3 source package. I think it should be installed to /usr/share/info/ with other similar files.

Thanks for the report.
The problem is the missing build dependency on texinfo.
I just fixed this in the Debian package but for Ubuntu Colin has to do
it.

I'm still not seeing grub.info in my karmic installation.

This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu3

---------------
grub2 (1.97~beta4-1ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

    - Add a build dependency on texinfo (LP: #453442).
  * debian/patches/968_raid_virtio.diff: Handle RAID devices containing
    virtio components (LP: #457687).
