Bug#906790: libtasn1-6 FTBFS during arch-only: missing makeinfo

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: libtasn1-6
Version: 4.13-3
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

Doing an arch-only build of libtasn1-6 on amd64 fails. A build log ends
with:

| make[3]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc'
| restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && \
| am__cwd=`pwd` && CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && \
| rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && \
| if (/bin/bash /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/build-aux/missing makeinfo --version) >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
|   for f in libtasn1.info libtasn1.info-[0-9] libtasn1.info-[0-9][0-9] libtasn1.i[0-9] libtasn1.i[0-9][0-9]; do \

| WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
|          You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
|          any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
|          You might want to install the Texinfo package:
|          <https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
|          The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
|          using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
|          want to install GNU make:
|          <https://www.gnu.org/software/make/>

A full build work, which is why reproducible doesn't see this issue. The
installation set does not include the texinfo package, which contains
makeinfo, and texinfo is not requested by Build-Depends. The earlier
builds on the buildds did not attempt to run makeinfo. Possibly this is
related to updating the version of autoconf?
