Basically, you have to go into /usr/share/info and symlink the info
files to their correct names.  For instance, you need a link 

viper.info.gz -> viper-e20.gz
widget.info.gz -> widget-e20.gz
emacs.info.gz -> emacs-e20.gz
etc.

There's probably an easy script to do this, but it's fairly easy to do
it by hand,

Cheers,
Chris
