Because of this dependency line


This issue is back again, now with

bash
   _update-info-dir
     texinfo
       perl

This is a side effect of the fact that I switched to cygport for packaging whenI took over as texinfo maintainer. cygport (correctly) detected perl as adependency because texinfo provides perl scripts. In fact, the most importantprogram in texinfo is /usr/bin/makeinfo, which is a symlink to a perl script.


I'll wait for guidance from above before doing anything about this.
