Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release: 18.04
After running 'dpkg-buildpackage' I got the following error message:
freeipmi/
WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
You might want to install the Texinfo package:
<http://
The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
want to install GNU make:
<http://
Makefile:429: recipe for target 'freeipmi-faq.info' failed
I add the 'texinfo' package, which provides the makeinfo, and it works well. Here is the diff:

I hope the diff enough to fix the problem.

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.
Looking at previous builds logs (like https:/ /launchpadlibra rian.net/ 382624327/ buildlog_ ubuntu- bionic- amd64.freeipmi_ 1.4.11- 1.1ubuntu4. 1_BUILDING. txt.gz), or trying a build locally on a fresh 18.04 container, I don't see the error message you mention.
Did you make any other modifications to the package before starting the build?
I found this in config/missing:
...
makeinfo*)
echo "You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or"
echo "any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual."
echo "You might want to install the Texinfo package:"
...
Maybe that applies to your case?
