tramp (2.0.28); Tramp info in Emacs

[Luc Teirlinck]

Enter your bug report in this message, including as much detail as you
possibly can about the problem, what you did to cause it and what the
local and remote machines are.

If you can give a simple set of instructions to make this bug happen
reliably, please include those.  Thank you for helping kill bugs in
TRAMP.

 Another useful thing to do is to put (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) in
the ~/.emacs file and to repeat the bug.  Then, include the contents
of the *tramp/foo* buffer and the *debug tramp/foo* buffer in your bug
report.

--bug report follows this line--

Why does the following happen?

Start the latest Emacs CVS.

C-h i , m tramp , m overview. Result:

byte-code: No such anchor in tag table or node in tag table or file:
Overview

(Killed and yanked from the *Messages* buffer.)

Similar things happen with other (but not all) tramp menu items.

I did not separately install any tramp info, but tramp is, if I
understand correctly, part of Emacs, so I should not have to do that.
(Or so I guess.)

Actually, I have all the necessary information in
/usr/local/info/tramp-1 and tramp-2 and to me, even the tag table
looks correct, numbers and all, but something must be wrong, unless I
am missing something very basic.
