deb package generation problems / info package missing.

[Levente Torok]

Hi all,

May be I did something wrong. I had to upgrade my system and along with this I 
recompiled octave.
First, I noticed I could not generate octave-3.0.2 debian package on my Hardy 
with 

sudo checkinstall --requires 
libsuitesparse,fftw3,atlas3-base,libhdf5-1.6.5-0,zlib1g,gnuplot --provides 
octave address@hidden --install=no --pkgname=octave3.0 --pkgversion=1:3.0.2

That was nicely working with octave-3.0.1 on Gutsy and Hardy with 

sudo checkinstall --requires 
lapack3,fftw3,atlas3-base,libhdf5-1.6.5-0,zlib1g,gnuplot --provides octave 
address@hidden --install=no --pkgname=octave3.0 --pkgversion=1:3.0.1

because it stopped with the following:

        Enter a number to change any of them or press ENTER to continue:

        Installing with make install...

        mkdir /usr/local/share/octave/3.0.2/m
        ....


but I also recognized that info package is not installed too to the right place:

octave:61> doc plot
info: /usr/local/share/info/octave.info: No such file or directory
info: /usr/local/share/info/octave.info: No such file or directory

I haven't investigated the source of this yet, Jaroslav or John might knows it 
by heart.
