Since 2.0.11+1-11 the Guile info pages have been managed by update-alternatives(1) so that references from either Emacs or the standalone reader should reach the pages for the currently selected alternative. The info files for each version are installed in /usr/share/info/guile-X.Y, so you can prefer a particular version's pages by prepending that directory to your INFOPATH, e.g.: INFOPATH=/usr/share/info/@DEB_PKG_BASENAME@ info guile This variable also affects Emacs. For examle: INFOPATH=/usr/share/info/@DEB_PKG_BASENAME@: emacs --eval '(info "guile")' -- Rob Browning , Tue, 1 Mar 2016 21:03:08 -0600
