Bug#501194: info opens browser even when argument is not found




Am 05.10.2008 um 14:23 teilte Frederik Eaton mit:

Hi Frederik,

Package: info
Version: 4.11.dfsg.1-4
Severity: minor

If I am looking for information on 'foo', the program 'man' tells me
right away that it isn't in the manpage database:

$ man foo
No manual entry for foo

However, 'info' forces the user to read through the following output:

With

<quote>
hille@sid:~ $ info --version
info (GNU texinfo) 6.5

I see:

hille@sid:~ $ info foo
info: No menu item 'foo' in node '(dir)Top'

I guess we can close the bug. Please confirm.

Hilmar
