Bug#815941: info: "info automake" no longer works
Package: info
Version: 6.1.0.dfsg.1-3
Severity: normal
I've just reported the following bug to bug-texinfo.
When I type "info automake", I get the man page (default fallback)
instead of the GNU Automake manual.
Version 6.0.0.dfsg.1-1 is also buggy, but 5.2.0.dfsg.1-6 is OK.
In strace output for 5.2.0.dfsg.1-6, I get:
[...]

25831 stat("/usr/share/info/automake-1.15.info.gz", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3206, ...}) = 0
[...]
In strace output for 6.0.0.dfsg.1-1, I get:

The /usr/share/info/dir file contains:
* automake-invocation: (automake-1.15)automake Invocation.
* Automake: (automake-1.15). Making GNU standards-compliant Makefiles.
in both cases, in case this matters (according to strace, this file
is read in both cases).
