Description Paul Eggleton 2016-01-10 20:03:50 UTC 
If texinfo-native is in the sysroot when mtools do_configure runs, then it will find <native sysroot>/usr/bin/install-info, but because there is apparently no hard dependency, that could be missing when it comes to run do_install.

Not sure I understand how this happens.

texinfo-native is in ASSUME_PROVIDED so it shouldn't be possible to build it.  mtools inherits texinfo so it has a dependency on texinfo-native (for target) or texinfo-dummy-native (native and cross).
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2016-02-02 14:44:03 UTC 
Marking as NEEDINFO.  I'm not sure how this could happen.
Comment 3 Paul Eggleton 2016-03-02 22:26:26 UTC 
There's a shocking lack of detail here. I blame the submitter. 

There was some kind of issue, but I don't have any more information recorded unfortunately. If I see it again I'll reopen with concrete details.
Comment 4 Cristina Agurida 2016-03-07 13:15:39 UTC 
As per last comments set it as verified invalid.
