Did you perhaps install a new version of Texinfo lately?
I have been using 4.8 for some time now. Maybe I just recently
noticed the problem, or maybe I just recently one way or the other
got a blank line between entries somewhere (which apparently is what
triggers the behavior).
Can you see if a line
gets added if you run install-info manually from the shell's prompt to
update the entry for ada-mode?
What seems to happen is that if an entry has a blank line underneath
it, install-info removes that blank line and adds a new blank line
_above_ the entry. Running it a second time produces no second blank
line, because the blank line below is gone. But if I then run
install-info on the next entry (autotype), the blank line below
autotype is removed and a new blank line above autotype and below
ada-mode appears. Now running install-info on ada-mode gives yet
another blank line above ada-mode. Because of this, the net result of
running make-install is to add one blank line between the AUCTeX and
ada-mode entries each time I run make-install.
Maybe the bug is local in that I should not have any blank lines
between entries to begin with. I will try to remove them by hand and
see if that solves the problem.
Sincerely,
Luc.
