Description Tristan Miller 2008-08-23 01:01:44 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I can use info or pinfo from the command line to get the info page for GCC as follows:

$ info gcc

These programs are smart enough to redirect to the actual info page, which is called gcc-4.3.info.gz.  However, I have no such luck when visiting the URL <info:/gcc> in Konqueror:

KDE Info Pages Viewer Error
No info page for topic "gcc" found.
You may find what you are looking for at the gcc manpage.

Please make the kio component for info pages smart enough to do whatever GNU info is doing to find the correct info page.  I assume that upon invoking it as "info foo" it searches for "foo.info.gz" in the standard info directories, and if that's not found, tries globbing "foo-*.info.gz" to get the info page of a specific version number.

Can you reproduce this bug with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta1 or beta2 / 4.2svn ) ?

Here using:

Qt: 4.4.3                 
KDE: 4.1.85 (KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.2 Beta2))
kdelibs svn rev. 898705 / kdebase svn rev. 898705
on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.8

I can't reproduce this bug, but I only have a "gcc.info" in /usr/share/info, so I suppose there's no "redirection" involved.
Comment 2 Lubos Lunak 2009-03-23 16:12:26 UTC
Yes, this is still valid (http://bugzilla.novell.com/463588).
Comment 3 Tristan Miller 2015-03-05 14:40:34 UTC
I can't reproduce this problem any more with KDE 4.14.4.  Lubos, do you still see it?
Comment 4 Tristan Miller 2016-08-17 13:42:16 UTC
No response from Lubos, so tentatively closing.
