u-amarsh04spine-o-saurus I had a look in aptitude (running unstable here) - only way to install libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 was removing desktop-base libelogind-compat libpam-elogind and installing dummy-logind - it might be worth raising on the forum or in a bug report01:34
u-amarsh04spine-o-saurus it's the dependency on libfluidsynth-dev which in turn depends on libsystemd-dev that is the problem01:36
chomwitthi . in chimaera my gnupg package has a /usr/share/info/gnupg.info.gz that is not displayed in emacs info21:03
chomwittneither info will display it unless the complete pathname given as argument21:33
gnarfacea while back (before devuan) there was a change to the info setup so it didn't work right unless you set it up21:48
gnarfacemight still be the issue, but i'm sorry i forget what the necessary change was21:48
gnarfacesomething related to the path maybe21:48
gnarfacesome asshole told me it was because info pages were confusing so all on their own they had decided to go cowboy and decreed "expected behavior" would be to show the man page instead21:49
gnarfacethat may have been as far back as 200621:51
chomwittok. i'll search for info setup. emacs C-h Info-directory-list does include  /usr/share/info so its not that{21:53
chomwitti had that issue also with another doc package . i dont recall now.21:55
gnarfacehmmm, not sure what state my system is here21:55
gnarface"info gnupg" shows the gnupg man page, but i'm not seeing it in emacs info21:55
gnarfacesorry, i mean "info gnupg" shows the info page correctly21:56
gnarfacebut i can't seem to find it in emacs, nor can i find the info page for info itself in emacs21:56
gnarfaceso something is partly wrong here still too21:56
gnarfacei think i had made the proper fix back then but this is a ceres system i'd upgraded from sid21:57
gnarfaceso it seems part of the fix has been overwritten21:57
gnarfacehmm, emacs info isn't completely broken though, "M-x info-display-manual" does work to bring up the gnupg info page21:59
gnarfaceInfo-directory-list doesn't seem to be furnished on this version22:00
chomwittindeed info gnupg or info will display it .22:00
chomwitt "M-x info-display-manual" worked indeed. nice22:02
gnarfacehmm, i'm wrong apparently, gnupg is showing up on the emacs info directory page, just not with (gnupg) next to the entry labels22:03
gnarfacebut when i hit "h" to bring up the primer it says "Info file for info does not exist"22:03
gnarfaceso maybe it's not very broken22:04
chomwittstrange, now i see it too. maybe i didnt look to carefully too because is under gpg2 and not gnupg22:07
gnarfaceyea but something is wrong because in the info reader you actually see (gnupg) next to the entries22:07
gnarfaceand "h" actually brings up the tutorial22:07
gnarfaceit seems very minor but i don't know what it is22:08
gnarfacei'm on ceres here though so some breakage might be expected22:09
chomwitti remembered . the other package is gccintro22:09
chomwittit's displayd but as inactive info link22:10
chomwittthat happens in info also22:10
gnarfacethat one i don't see at all in either reader, maybe it's in a separate package?22:11
gnarfacedo you have gcc-doc installed?22:11
chomwitthttps://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/package-query.html?c=package&q=gccintro%3D1.0-422:13
gnarfaceah22:14
chomwitti installed gcc-doc but the issue with gccintro remains22:14
