New comment by rovenmacorp on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/21163#issuecomment-616497700 Comment: This error exists because `texinfo` is not added to the package definition as a build dependency. You will also get a second error when you add it. And this is because `texinfo`'s input encoding now UTF-8 by default and `m4.texi`'s not. You can solve this problem add `pre_build` section like this. `pre_build() { sed -i '1 i @documentencoding ISO-8859-1' doc/m4.texi }` See at: [https://github.com/dankelley/gri/issues/15#issuecomment-544980426](url)
