Description of problem: We have patched our package info-install to handle info files compressed with xz but currently command 'install-info --remove' isn't working correctly. That cmd is commonly used in %preun scripts and now you only get error when removing package which have info files and (non-working) entry for info file stays on "catalog". Steps to Reproduce: 1. install pkg 'info' 2. install some package which have info files compressed with xz, e.g. nano 3. check that there's info page available with cmd 'info' 4. remove package nano and you get error: install-info: warning: no entries found for `/usr/share/info/nano.info.xz'; nothing deleted 5. use cmd 'info' again and you see there's still entry for nano which doesnt work. Alternative way to reproduce: 1. install nano 2. try to remove info files from catalog with cmd (as root): '/sbin/install-info /usr/share/info/nano.info.xz --dir=/usr/share/info/dir --remove' 3. you get the same error msg as mentioned before 4. use cmd 'info' to check if entry for nano is still there How to fix: Install pkg info-install-4.13a-2.1.mga1 from core/updates_testing and do the steps again.

I reworked the advisory : Our package info-install was patched to handle info files compressed with xz but currently command 'install-info --remove' wasn't working correctly. This update fix the issue. ( to not say "we" and to explain that the bug was fixed by the update ) Unfortunately, as I started the update process , I couldn't ask for feedback about this :/ Update pushed.

The advisory needed rework, indeed. "fix" should have been "fixes", but too late :)
