Re: [help-texinfo] Re: Gentoo Linux some `Info' manuals missing index

Hi Harry,

    GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, 

I don't have 23.1.50, but with 23.1.1, starting up with
  emacs-23.1 --no-site --no-init
doing
  C-h i m cvs <RET>
  i update RET
does find index entries for update.  With the cvs.info* files you sent me.

So, could it be something in your site and/or personal Elisp files?  On
the other hand, if the above fails for you with 23.1.50, I am left with
suggesting writing the Emacs developers.  Perhaps it's a change they
introduced since 23.1.

Best,
Karl
