Subject: Changing Working Directory - Bug in Maxima 5.30.0

Hi,
After changing the working dirctory with the command
?xchdir using Maxima 5.30.0, the information files
in directory .../info/ are not foud any more;
i.e. the command "describe" produces an error-message:
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
Error in MACSYMA-TOP-LEVEL [or a callee]: Cannot open the file
/Programme/Maxima-5.30.0/info/./maxima.info-1.
Automatically continuing.
To enable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
At least up to Maxima 5.27.0 that worked faultlessly.
Regards
