Given that I was already in /usr/info looking into why there were so few
entries in the info menu, I used:
'ls' *info |xargs --max-args=1 install-info --dir-file=dir
This appeared to be needed due to install-info's limitation to only one
input file.
The following, more generic solutions, would also work:
find /usr/info -name "*.info" -type f -print | xargs --max-args=1
install-info --dir-file=/usr/info/dir
or
find / -name "*.info" -type f -print | xargs --max-args=1 install-info
--dir-file=/usr/info/dir
I tried it with dir.info, but the existence of that file causes "info"
to core dump on my machine.
a bit more testing... Ahh... That's not quite right. The existence of
_both_ /usr/info/dir _and_ /usr/info/dir.info (both with valid data)
causes the core dump.
