RTEMS Source Builder | SIS Fails to build on Fedora/RHEL Systems (#161)

[Wayne Thornton (@wmthornton-dev)]

Wayne Thornton created an issue: https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/tools/rtems-source-builder/-/issues/161



Summary: texinfo package missing install-info binary in Fedora/RHEL distributions (missing info subpackage dependency) during SIS build

Description of problem:
After installing the texinfo package on Fedora/RHEL (WSL2 environment), the /usr/bin/install-info utility is missing. This causes builds of the RTEMS Source Builder and SIS to fail during the installation phase.

Although dnf reports that texinfo is installed, whereis install-info returns no path. The utility appears to have been moved to a separate info subpackage that is not being pulled in as a mandatory dependency.

Version-Release number of selected component:
texinfo-7.2-7.fc43.x86_64 (or your specific version from rpm -q texinfo)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

sudo dnf install texinfo

ls -l /usr/bin/install-info or whereis install-info

Actual results:
/usr/bin/install-info is not found.

Expected results:
The install-info utility should be available in /usr/bin/ upon installing the base texinfo package, or info should be a hard dependency.

Additional info:
Manually running sudo dnf install info resolves the issue, but this breaks automated build scripts expecting the standard texinfo environment.
