Current FreeBSD ports from about March 23, 1997

>Description:

If you install the teTex port it will overwrite the contents of the
/usr/local/info/dir file with it's own stuff. After it you can only
see the teTex stuff from emacs info command.

>How-To-Repeat:

1) install the emacs port
2) install th teTeX port
3) from emacs type ESC-x info[RET]
4) observe lack of emacs' own info stuff

The offending lineof the teTeX port Makefile reads:
	@ (cd ${WRKLIB}; tar cf - info man/man1 man/man5) | (cd ${PREFIX}; tar --unlink -xpf -)

This copies everything from the teTeX info directory into the
${PREFIX}/info directory thus overwriting the dir-file already there

>Fix:

Use install-info to to update the Info directory file ${PREFIX}/info/dir ;-)
