Bug Description

Binary package hint: zsh-beta-doc

I had zsh installed (but not zsh-doc) and I installed zsh-beta and zsh-beta-doc. I tried to browse the Info manual for ZSH while inside Emacs but got an error message when I tried to the effect: "zsh.info doesn't exist".

Looking at the actual Info dir file I saw that the entry for ZSH pointed at zsh and not zsh-beta, explaining the error and suggesting the fix.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

$ apt-cache policy zsh-beta-doc
zsh-beta-doc:

This is fixed with zsh 5.0.2-3 as it replaces zsh-beta.
