Maybe the info command line command should be more strict like man(1),
else one ends up too often reading some other page, e.g.,
$ info -w cp
/usr/share/info/cpio.info.gz
(Seen one day when coreutils info was not installed.)

Situation seems to be better now. I simply renamed coreutils info page
and installed cpio info page. Even in this situation the cpio page is
ignored.

hille@haka:~$ info -w cp
/usr/share/info/coreutils.info.gz

root@haka:/usr/share/info# mv coreutils.info.gz coreutils.info.gz_1

hille@haka:~$ info -w cp
*manpages*
hille@haka:~$ info -w cpio
/usr/share/info/cpio.info.gz
hille@haka:~$ info -w cp
*manpages*

root@haka:/usr/share/info# mv coreutils.info.gz_1 coreutils.info.gz

hille@haka:~$ info -w cp
/usr/share/info/coreutils.info.gz

So the situation you complained about was solved. Closing.
