Correct, texi2dvi is there too.  Then, how am I getting this?

/home/hagbard/Admir/bin/texinfo/bin/texi2pdf: texi2dvi: not found

doing ls gives

hagbard@fuckup:
+ ~/01cuneus/tdr/06ch
ls /home/hagbard/Admir/bin/texinfo/bin/
info          makeinfo     pod2texi  texi2any  texi2pdf  texinfo-js
install-info  pdftexi2dvi  tex       texi2dvi  texindex
