I have a question regarding the timeline published in the wiki page:
Timeline
* Upload texinfo with new install-info to unstable
* File bugs on all info-browser providing packages [...]
* Ensure above bugs are fixed quickly.
* Upload the new dpkg.
* File bugs against all the info shipping packages with problematic
info files. [...]
* Update all packages providing info files.
The present bug report relates to the fifth step in the list above.
However, I have not seen a new dpkg being uploaded to unstable. Neither
have I seen the new texinfo with install-info being uploaded to unstable.
This means that if I fix this bug and upload right now the jed package to
unstable, it will fail to install the info files. Am I missing something
or have the regarding packages just been uploaded?
Cheers,
