org-mode info file not installed correctly

[Joe Snikeris]

Binary package hint: org-mode

In the top level directory node in emacs (C-h i), org-mode is listed twice. Once for the version that is included with emacs22, and once for the one installed with the org-mode package. This alone might be considered a bug.

More importantly, the org-mode entry that is put in place by the org-mode package links to the documentation for the emacs22 version of org-mode. Apparently, this line in /usr/share/info/dir:

* Org Mode: (org). Outline-based notes management and

is not enough for info to link to /usr/share/info/org.gz, which is the correct info file.

This bug still exists on ubuntu 11.10

Package org-mode installs version 7.6, the info file is for 6.33x

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Alex Rampp (bitschupser)]

As a workaround you could create a symbolic link to the right info file:

cd /usr/share/info/emacs-23
sudo mv org.gz org.gz.org
sudo ln -s /usr/share/info/org.gz .

Perhaps this could be automated at package installation?
