Following a fatal crash, I had to change computers and reinstall Emacs (under Debian). Unfortunately, the help files, especially calc.info, are no longer available from Debian servers. How can I install calc.info again?

Debian doesn’t package Emacs correctly; they put the documentation in a separate package. You’ll have to find the details elsewhere, but just install that package and it will work.
- I succeeded with great difficulty, because the package named emacs-common-non-dfsg cannot be downloaded from apt, it is ignored in Debian Trixie/sid.gigiair– gigiair2025-03-19 17:21:38 +00:00Commented Mar 19 at 17:21
