make info fails ...

Element.pm is from the (Debian) package libhtml-tree-
perl, version 3.11. Any hints, what's wrong?

cd info && make

Found updated versions of the conversion scripts

http://pag.lcs.mit.edu/~mernst/software/#html2texi
http://pag.lcs.mit.edu/~mernst/software/#checkargs

with http://pag.lcs.mit.edu/~mernst/software/python-info-
Makefile from the same site I get a step further ...

fixinfo.el is out of date ...

who is pdm/pdm, who builds the info tarballs for download?

Is this still a problem?  We updated the info conversions
earlier this year.
